Abstract
Simulation-based learning in surgery is a learning model where an environment similar to real life surgical situation is created for the trainee to learn various surgical skills. It can be used to train a new operator as well to assess his skills. This methodology helps in repetitive practice of surgical skills on nonliving things so that the operator can be near-perfect when operating on a live patient. Various models are available for learning different dermatosurgery skills.

<body><sec sec-type="intro" id="sec1-1"><title>INTRODUCTION</title>
<p>Methods of teaching and mastering surgical skills are changing in today's competitive environment. Previously, there was hardly any formal training in basic surgical skills and most medical students and residents had their first lessons by observing and then practicing their skills on the patients, using the formula, see one, do one, teach one.[<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
] But this is no longer easy, as clinical pressures nowadays require the highest degree of efficiency and leave no room for shoddy work or errors in the operation theatre. Besides, lack of valuable operating time leaves very little time for the surgeon to teach students inside the operating environment. In addition, surgical skills cannot be mastered by simple observation. Additionally, cadaver training is not easily available. To overcome these difficulties, simulation-based learning becomes a viable method. Besides, it additionally provides an opportunity to teach and then assess medical students objectively and in addition, gives the students a chance to practice extensively and gain confidence before they enter the operating room and operate on live patients. In addition, it is a useful method for older practitioners wanting to upgrade their surgical skills.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec1-2"><title>TEACHING TOOLS FOR SURGICAL SKILLS</title>
<p>Various teaching tools can be used for surgical training. Suturing techniques are the basic surgical skills required by all residents practicing surgery. The rapid expansion and demand for dermatosurgery has compelled postgraduate students to learn surgical skills as well as older dermatologists to upgrade themselves. Mastering suturing skills is the cornerstone of surgical procedures. The traditional teaching methods include didactic lectures, clinical discussions, and audiovisual presentations. However, these are one-way programs and are not very useful for the development of technical surgical skills. The “mentored” approach of learning surgical skills is another conventional method, where the postgraduate student observes the procedure being done by the mentor, gradually learns the procedure, then performs under supervision, and soon performs it independently. The main drawback with this approach is that it may not always be possible for the mentor to teach when the patient load is high or when there are too many students observing the procedure. In addition, learning surgical skills on a live person can have medical, legal, and ethical issues. The use of simulation has shifted the learning of basic surgical skills from the operation theatre to the laboratory to practice and hone surgical skills.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec1-3"><title>WHAT IS SIMULATION-BASED LEARNING?</title>
<p>Simulation is an instructional strategy used to teach technical skills, procedures, and operations, by presenting learners with situations that resemble reality.[<xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
] Surgical simulation involves the use of objects, devices, electronic and/or mechanical surgical simulators, cadavers, animals, and animal organs to reproduce or represent, under test conditions, situations that are likely to occur in actual performance. Simulation-based learning has many advantages such as:</p>
<p><list list-type="alpha-lower"><list-item><p>It allows the person to acquire the skills before operating on a live person</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>The surgeon later is more competent to handle intraoperative complications</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>The surgeon can practice less commonly performed surgeries beforehand</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>A trainee can be tested and objectively by seniors on their efficiency</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>It helps to increase speed, efficiency, automaticity, and precision</p>
</list-item>
</list>
</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec1-4"><title>HOW TO INTRODUCE SIMULATION</title>
<p>There are various types of simulation techniques[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] [<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
]. Newer methodologies to teach surgical skills and assess students objectively have been developing as well. These include virtual reality, robotics, telemedicine, computer games,[<xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
] artificial skin, and wound closure pads [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1</xref>
]. Their success depends on how close they are to reality in terms of the texture and handling. There are various shapes and sizes that are available.</p>

</fig>
<p>Benchtop models include synthetic or nonlive animal tissue models such as organic fruits or vegetables, chicken thighs or wings, and others. To assess learning of surgical skills on benchtop models, objective assessment of technical skills (OSATS) was developed by Reznick <italic>et al</italic>
. at the University of Toronto[<xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
] and is now widely used by different surgical specialties. Simulation models can be high fidelity (as real as living human tissue) such as live animals and fresh human cadavers or low fidelity (less real as compared to living human tissues) such as synthetic bench models.[<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
] Even though high fidelity models are as close to reality as possible, but they have disadvantages of limited availability, low cost, risk of infections, and ethical issues. By contrast, low fidelity models are easily available and can be repeatedly used. Studies have shown that simulation-based learning is definitely better than didactic lectures.[<xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
] Even though students feel that surgical skill acquisition may be better with high fidelity models, there is not much difference between the two.[<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
] Fruits and/or vegetables with thick peels, being simple, versatile, portable, reproducible, affordable, easy to purchase, and of low cost, are a good alternative as well and they provide a three-dimensional (3D) platform to work on.[<xref rid="ref10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
] These flat bench models can be used for learning incisions, biopsy, and suturing. For excision of lipomas or cysts, Denadai <italic>et al</italic>
. have used styrofoam balls or mini balloons filled with ink placed within chicken thighs or wings making the learning experience as real as possible.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] Cadaver training and the use of pigskin may be done, but it is not always practical. A study showed that there was significant improvement in competence of prefinal year medical students in performing basic surgical skills after they were taught those skills through simulation-based learning on fresh human skin model.[<xref rid="ref11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
] Virtual reality is an advanced human-computer interface such as a 3D computer-generated world that mimics the real world and allows participants to interact with and navigate it, using components of their five senses in real time.[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
] It has been used in studying cellular compartments of neural tissues and in other fields.[<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
] Virtual reality models help in generating skill-based surgical behavior that is highly integrated and automated.[<xref rid="ref13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
] These models have been used for laparoscopic surgeries.[<xref rid="ref14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec1-5"><title>HOW TO TEACH</title>
<p>The various stages of simulation-based learning include:</p>
<p><list list-type="order"><list-item><p>Verbal learning directed by the instructor, based on learning materials, diagrams, books, online tools, and videos narrated by experts;</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>Instructor-led training on bench models;</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>Self-directed training outside the classroom, for example, at home;</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>Training focused on procedures performed out-of-class by an instructor — After the out-of-class practice.[<xref rid="ref14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]</p>
</list-item>
</list>
</p>
<p>In the first step of teaching, the students can be taught by an expert or even a multimedia software computer-assisted-learning, (CAL). The gold standard currently used for evaluating a person learning surgical skills through simulation is OSATS. OSATS consists of two subscales: Task-specific checklist and Global Rating Scale (GRS).[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
] Dendai <italic>et al</italic>
. have proposed a curriculum on learning skills involving the skin, in which they propose the approximate training time for learning surgical knots is 2 weeks, incision and suture techniques is 2 weeks, biopsy techniques is 3 weeks, skin grafts is 3 weeks, surgical flaps is 5 weeks, and management of cutaneous lesions is 4 weeks.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] The same authors have additionally adapted the GRS for cutaneous procedures for assessment of the trainees’ performance that includes respect for tissue, time in motion, instrument handling, elliptical excision skill, suture training, flow of operation, knowledge of procedure, final product, and overall performance.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
]</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec1-6"><title>SURGICAL SIMULATION IN DIFFERENT DERMATOLOGICAL PROCEDURES</title>
<p>Various dermatological procedures can be taught by inanimate models [<xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">Table 2</xref>
]. Excision of cysts and subcutaneous tumors are taught in various institutions. Here, subcutaneous tumors or cysts are simulated using cut finger of glove filled with toothpaste or balloons filled with ink or small lemons. These are inserted into chicken thigh or pig muscle and used as bench models. A computational formulation of the finite element method has been used for various flap designs of Z-plasty, rotation, rhomboid flaps, S-plasty, and related techniques in three-dimensional operation on skin sheets and scalp flaps.[<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
] A game called Z-DOC which has touch-based interactions has been developed for training plastic surgery residents the steps of Z-plasty procedure.[<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>

<p>Similarly simulation surgery can be used for learning hair transplantation where artificial hair may be transplanted onto pig skin. Other hair traansplant simulations include fixing goat skin on a dummy head or fixing black kite thread or discarded human hair on a styroform base fixed to a dummy head [Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2a</xref>

and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">3</xref>
] In vitiligo surgery, pig skin or cow skin may be used as both donor and recipient site for learning mini punch grafting and split skin thickness grafting.</p>

<sec id="sec1-7"><title>THE FUTURE OF LEARNING SURGICAL SKILLS</title>
<p>The future of simulation-based learning in dermatological haptic virtual reality surgeries are virtual reality models. These will create a situation similar to that in the operation theatre. Haptic systems or haptics are a part of advanced virtual reality systems that interacts with the user's sense of touch. 3D printing has been used in urology where organs (the kidney, renal pelvis, and ureter) were created with a 3D modeling software, printed with a Spectrum Z510 3D printer (Z Corporation, 3D Systems, USA), and cast with Dragon Skin 30 silicone rubber (Smooth-On, Inc. Macungie PA 18062, USA). The model was secured in a laparoscopy box trainer for use.[<xref rid="ref15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
] Similar models can be developed for dermatological procedures.</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="conclusion" id="sec1-8"><title>CONCLUSION</title>
<p>Simulation-based training is becoming an increasingly popular tool to teach suturing skills. It helps medical students, surgical residents in various specialties including dermatology, and additionally older practitioners to learn and master surgical techniques. Simulation enables the trainee to avoid the early error-prone and difficult part of the surgical training curve and in addition, to gain confidence before entering the surgical operating environment.</p>
