Análisis de los estilos de aprendizaje en un curso de habilidades técnicas laparoscópicas. Implicaciones para el entrenamiento quirúrgico / Analysis of learning styles in a laparoscopic technical skills course. Implications for surgical training

Introducción: El aprendizaje de las técnicas quirúrgicas es un proceso dinámico. David Kolb describió en los años ochenta un modelo de aprendizaje que permite adaptar el tipo de enseñanza y mejorar los resultados de esta. El objetivo del estudio es identificar los estilos de aprendizaje según Kolb de los participantes en un curso de habilidades técnicas laparoscópicas y comprobar si existe relación con el rendimiento final de la tarea realizada. Métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo que incluye 64 participantes que completaron un curso intensivo donde realizaron anastomosis intestinales manuales laparoscópicas. Todos ellos completaron el inventario de estilos de aprendizaje de Kolb. En cada anastomosis se recogió el tiempo de ejecución y se valoró su calidad. Posteriormente, los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente. Resultados: El estilo de aprendizaje más frecuente fue el asimilador (39,1%). No se observan diferencias significativas entre los estilos y el sexo de los participantes, su categoría profesional, el tiempo en realizar la anastomosis o su calidad. Conclusiones: El estilo de aprendizaje predominante es el asimilador, sin diferencias entre categorías, edad o sexo. No existe relación entre el estilo de aprendizaje de los participantes y los resultados obtenidos en el curso. (AU)

Introduction: Learning surgical techniques is a dynamic process. In the 1980s David Kolb described developed a learning model that enabled teaching styles to adapt for better learner outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify the Kolb learning styles of the participants in a laparoscopic technical skills course and to check see if there was any relationship with performance. Methods: An observational descriptive study was conducted with 64 participants in an intensive course in which they performed laparoscopic manual intestinal anastomoses. All completed Kolb's inventory of learning styles. For each anastomosis, join quality was assessed and the performing time recorded. After that, they were analyzed through statistical studies. Results: The most frequent learning style was assimilating type (39.1%). No significant differences were observed between different learning styles and gender, professional category, the time taken or the quality of the anastomoses. Conclusions: Assimilating type was the most frequent Kolb learning style, with no differences observed between categories, age or gender. There is no relationship between the learning style of the participants and the results obtained in the course. (AU)

Línea de sutura de anastómosis intestinales: efecto de la presión ejercida por el volumen intraluminal durante el tránsito intestinal normal: resultados preliminares: biomodelos / Intestinal anastomoses suture line: effects of pressure exerted by the intraluminal volume during the normal bowel transit: preliminary results: bionodels

Demostrar que la ingesta precoz de líquidos por vía oral no produce aumento de la opresión intraluminal sobre la línea de sutura en las anastomosis intestinales y por lo tanto no es causa de dehiscencia de la misma, aunado que este hecho produce una estancia hospitalaría menor del paciente. Un estudio prospectivo con 21 cerdos a quienes se les practicará resección y anastomosis T-T, sometidos a una presión intraluminal de líquidos VIT y VID, con un protocolo de seis cirugías en 18 días y estudio de la anastomosis resecada en microscopia óptica y electrónica. Unidad de Investigación Quirúrgica de la Escuela de Medicina José María Vargas, Facultad de Medicina UCV. La ingesta precoz de alimentos y líquidos no es causa de dehiscencia en anastomosis intestinales con tránsito intestinal normal. Los resultados preliminares de este estudio apuntan a que la ingesta precoz de líquidos no es causa de dehiscencia en anastomosis intestinales.

Demostrate that early fluid intake vía oral produces no increase of pressure intraluminal on the suture line in the intestinal anastomoses, and therefore is not cause of dehiscence of the same, combining this fact produces a smaller hospital stay of the patient. A prospective study with 21 pigs to who they shall resection and under pressure T-T, anastomoses VIT and VID, liquids with a protocol of six surgeries in 18 days intraluminal and study the resected anastomoses in optical microscopy and electronics. Research Surgical Unit of the Escuela de Medicina José María Vargas, Facultad de Medicina UCV: Early lood and fluid intake is nor cause of intestinal anastomoses dehiscence with normal intestinal transit. The preliminary results of this study suggest that early fluid intake is not cause of dehiscence in intestinal anastomoses.
