MMCTS – Cardiac surgery simulation – Part 1: Basic Surgical Skills
We demonstrate how to build a modular cardiac surgery simulator and describe practice drills for use outside the operating room to hone skills in basic linear suturing, needle angles, and knot tying.
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (MMCTS) is an online-only teaching manual published by The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS). It is PubMed-indexed, expert-reviewed, and open to all. We invite you to demonstrate your surgical expertise and help us educate other cardiothoracic surgeons by publishing a short, narrated, step-by-step video tutorial. © The Author 2020.
