Résumé
Simulation-based medical education allows for the training and maintenance of healthcare skills in a safe and controlled environment. In this technical report, the development and initial evaluation of a bile duct anastomosis simulator are described. The simulator was developed using additive manufacturing techniques such as three-dimensional (3D) printing and silicone work. The final product was produced by maxSIMhealth, a research lab at Ontario Tech University (Oshawa, ON, Canada), and included four individual silicone bile ducts, based on the expert opinions from surgeons at the Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (Montreal, QC, Canada), and a 3D-printed maxSIMclamp, which was described in a previous report. The evaluation was conducted by nine individuals consisting of surgeons, surgical residents, and medical students to assess the fidelity, functionality, and teaching quality of the simulator. The results from the evaluation indicate that the simulator needs to improve its fidelity by being softer, thinner, and beige. On the other hand, the results also indicate that this simulator is extremely durable and can be used as a training tool for surgical residents with some minor improvements.
