Descrizione del progetto
Modelli di seno realistici aiutano la formazione chirurgica
Con milioni di nuovi casi di carcinoma mammario nelle donne e l’elevata incidenza annuale di morte, la pressione per i neochirurghi in formazione è maggiore, affinché acquisiscano più rapidamente la necessaria esperienza prima di un’operazione reale. Allo stesso tempo, i dati dell’American Cancer Society dimostrano che la mastectomia non porta a risultati migliori. Data la complessità della rimozione di un tumore, cercando al contempo di conservare quanto più tessuto mammario possibile, e la carenza di cadaveri su cui lavorare, ReSurg offre un modello di seno realistico ed economico in un materiale che imita anche la sensazione di un vero e proprio intervento chirurgico.
Obiettivo
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.
