| Popis: | To describe a realistic goat's eye model to aid in surgical training of ophthalmology residents for improvising skills in intraoperative gonioscopy and incisional goniotomy surgery.This study provides a descriptive report explaining the step-by-step methodology for setting up a goat's eye model to train the ophthalmology residents in both intra-operative gonioscopy and incisional goniotomy. The goat's eyeball was prepared and mounted within the socket of a mannequin head. The mannequin head was tilted and microscope angulation was adjusted to allow adequate visualization of angle structures. Following intra-operative visualisation of angle structures through a Swan Jacob lens, incisional goniotomy was performed using a microvitreo-retinal blade on approximately 120° nasal angle. The model was found to produce reproducible results when tested on 22 trained residents.The Goniotomy on Goat's Eye (GOGE) model can provide a realistic and a relatively inexpensive tool for resident surgeons to develop bimanual coordination and enhance their surgical skills to perform effective intraoperative gonioscopy and incisional goniotomy surgery. |
