Background
Due to duty hour regulations, patient safety and inadequate operative time simulation have become a necessary part of surgical education and training in residency. Currently, there is no formal adoption of simulators for the use of surgical education or assessment in hand surgery. This literature review analyzes that the simulation techniques established thus far in hand surgery.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was performed on PubMed. Search results were filtered by title and abstract to isolate articles that were relevant to simulation in hand surgery. Articles that were nonspecific to the hand, non-English and cadaveric were excluded. Additional articles were identified through references from the initial search.
Results
A total of 1192 articles were yielded from the initial query. After the application of the inclusion criteria, this was narrowed down to 28 articles. Another 8 additional articles were excluded as they did not pertain to the hand although the simulators could be adapted for hand surgery. A total of 20 articles were included in this study.
Conclusions
Surgical simulation is a growing and essential field of surgical education. Simulators in hand surgery are limited and require further research and validation. Like other surgical subspecialties, hand surgery may benefit from the adoption of an official simulation curriculum for the assessment of residents and enhancement of technical skills.
