Description

Cosmina Andreea Dejescu, Lucia Bel, Iulia Melega, Stefana Maria Cristina Muresan, and Liviu Ioan Oana wrote this review, published in 2023. It surveys training simulators for keyhole surgery in veterinary medicine. Vets increasingly operate through tiny incisions, but practice tools built for animals lag far behind those for human surgeons.

The authors searched five databases for custom simulators described between 2010 and 2022. Only five turned up: four modeled dogs and one modeled horses. Each had passed checks showing it trained its target skill well. Borrowing human simulators teaches basics, the authors note, but misses the anatomy of animal patients. They call for new simulators covering cattle, small mammals, and other species, so training can keep pace with the surgery itself.
