Descripción del proyecto
Unos modelos de senos realistas ayudan a la formación quirúrgica
Los millones de casos nuevos de cáncer de mama y la elevada incidencia anual de muertes ejercen una mayor presión para que los nuevos cirujanos en formación adquieran más rápidamente experiencia antes de una operación real. Al mismo tiempo, los datos de la Sociedad Americana del Cáncer muestran que la mastectomía no obtiene unos resultados mejores. Ante la complejidad que entraña sacar un tumor mientras se intenta conservar tanto tejido mamario como sea posible y la falta de cadáveres en los que practicar, ReSurg ofrece un modelo de seno económico y realista de un material que también reproduce la sensación de una intervención quirúrgica real.
Objetivo
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second in cancer-related deaths. There were over 2 million new cases in 2018 , and this number is continuously increasing. To remove breast cancer, there are two main types of surgery: 1) Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy, quadrantectomy, partial mastectomy, or segmental mastectomy): A surgery in which only the part of the breast that contains the cancer is removed; 2) Mastectomy: A surgery in which the entire breast is removed, including all of the breast tissue and sometimes other nearby tissues. There are several different types of mastectomies. Some women may also get a double mastectomy, in which both breasts are removed. The return of women to their pre-cancer lives depends on the medical and aesthetic success of the surgery that they are going to go through. Modern oncoplastic techniques that are focused on conserving the breast tissue offer a better pathway for patient health and recovery. In order to excel in these techniques, surgeons need practice which requires hands-on manipulation of the breast tissue. However, the shortage of cadavers and organ models hinders the quality of surgical education. The students/surgeons-in-training practice on the very patients that they are sworn to take care off. There is a need for a reliable and sustainable training medium for ever-growing number of medical students and personnel.
ReSurg: offers new-to-the-world solutions, a breast model that aims to improve breast surgery medical training, and a self-awareness model, a poster with a tactile breast model that contains lumps which should not be there, a campaign that encourages women to follow up with their routine exams through somewhat scaring them.
