Cadaver Surgical Training: Status Quo from anatomy and surgery
Significant innovations in surgical intervention have sparked new interest in technical training using fresh cadavers specially prepared for this purpose. Cadaver surgical training (CST) is now an established training program for all fields of surgery, especially after the advent of laparoscopy and surgical robots.
While CST is now being used all over the world, we have just launched a governmental project to promote CST and commemorate the tenth anniversary of the guideline on promoting CST in Japan. In 2012, a joint meeting of the Japan Surgical Society (JSS) and Japanese Association of Anatomists (JAA) was held to promote the use of donated cadavers for the purpose of surgical training. Thanks to their efforts, CST is now recognized in JAA and many medical schools in Japan have been equipped with surgical theatres specifically for CST.
Since CST requires the use of specific embalming and fixation techniques, we are now called upon to update our expertise in order to successfully perform CST. With this aspect in mind, we would like to summarize and update the information on CST and education for doctors in terms of surgery. To gain additional insights into this field, we will publish a special issue on “Cadaver Surgical Training: Status Quo in Anatomy and Surgery”. The articles will provide our readership with a range of standpoints and practical information on CST.
