Abstrakt: Purpose: The recent history of myelomeningocele has shown that treatment during the fetal life may reduce the risk of developing hydrocephalus in individuals by approximately 50%. Thus, a significant advancement involves fetal surgery performed through an endoscopic technique in which portals are placed to introduce the forceps and laparoscopic instruments. However, the development of this technique requires training; therefore, this study aimed to develop a training model for fetal myelomeningocele repair technique with multi-portal endoscopy.
Methods: Two stages of endoscopic technique development were performed. The first stage consisted of exercises in order to familiarize the surgeon with 2D-vision endoscopic surgery, associated with the application of exercises focused on surgical skills, such as the development of laparoscopic knots in a synthetic model. The second stage involved the creation and application of the stages of myelomeningocele closure with a non-living animal model consisting of a chicken breast to simulate the myelomeningocele and a basketball to simulate the gravid uterus, in which perforations were made to introduce vascular introducers (portals) that, as in vivo, are used as portals (trocars) for the introduction of laparoscopic instruments. Overall, two different scenarios with three portals and two portals were tested.
Results: In three-portal simulator, the triangular apex trocar was used for the introduction of 4-mm 0° or 30° optics or even Minop type neurodoscope (Aesculap®, Germany) that was operated by the assistant surgeon; the other two portals are used for the introduction of laparoscopic instruments. Thus, the surgeon is able to perform maneuvers bimanually since dissection to laparoscopic sutures. In two-portal simulator, the surgeon and assistant stay side by side and one of the portals is used for the optic and the other for the laparoscopic instruments. There is no possibility of bimanual dissection in this method.
Conclusion: Realistic simulation models for endoscopic fetal surgery for myelomeningocele correction are easily performed and help develop the necessary skills for fetal surgery teams.
