ABSTRACT
We have developed a training system for endophthalmic surgery at Osaka Medical College and reviewed its effects on residents. The training program consists of preoperative and postoperative examinations, lectures on techniques such as suturing through microscopes, and exercises with pig eyes. Residents can practice any time with microsurgery instruments in our department. Such practice enables residents to acquire skills more easily. Highly sensitive microphones are attached to operative microscopes so that residents can learn during surgery and watch videotapes with faculty members afterward. Exercises with pig eyes are especially useful for practicing microsurgery. After basic training, residents start performing actual surgeries step by step under the supervision of faculty members until they master the basic techniques. We think highly of our educational method. Teaching hospitals should establish efficient systems for training in cataract surgery without negatively affecting patients.
