Description du projet
Des modèles de poitrine réalistes au service de la formation chirurgicale
Avec des millions de nouveaux cas de cancer du sein affectant les femmes et le taux élevé de décès par an s’ajoute une plus grande pression pour les jeunes chirurgiens en formation, afin qu’ils acquièrent de l’expérience plus rapidement avant une véritable opération. En même temps, les données de l’American Cancer Society montrent que la mastectomie n’apporte pas de meilleurs résultats. Étant donné la complexité de l’ablation d’une tumeur en essayant de conserver autant de tissu mammaire que possible et le manque de cadavres sur lesquels s’exercer, ReSurg propose un modèle de poitrine réaliste et économique dans un matériau qui reproduit également la sensation d’une véritable intervention chirurgicale.
Objectif
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.
