Özet

Background: Computer-based training modules use various multimedia components such as text, graphics, animation, and videos that can theoretically facilitate the learning process. Splenic flexure mobilization (SFM) is a crucial step for tension-free colorectal/anal anastomosis that can be a technically demanding step. This study is designed to demonstrate our novel training module for SFM with high-vessel ligation during surgery and present the anatomical landmarks and embryological plans for SFM. Materials and Methods: A step-by-step educational video was prepared to standardize and teach the technical steps of the SFM. 3D animation was prepared and cadaveric dissection was performed in a step-by-step manner similar to minimally invasive surgery. This is followed by the laparoscopic technique. Since we have started this modular training program in our department, a consecutive of 100 patients underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection and coloanal anastomosis with covering stoma. Demographics, characteristics, and postoperative outcomes were evaluated. Results: Surgical anatomical planes and important vascular structures/variations are both shown by 3D animation, cadaveric dissection, and laparoscopic surgery. Out of 100 consecutive cases, there were no mortality, 5 anastomotic leakages 1 of which necessitates reoperation, and 2 splenic injuries which were managed conservatively. Conclusion: This unique educational video module for SFM demonstrates surgical anatomical planes and important vascular structures/variations. The employment and implementation of time-independent multimedia components lead to effective training and can theoretically facilitate the learning process.
