This pragmatic book is a guide for the use of simulation in surgery and surgical subspecialties, including general surgery, urology, gynecology, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, orthopedics, ophthalmology, and otolaryngology. It offers evidence-based recommendations for the application of simulation in surgery and addresses procedural skills training, clinical decision-making and team training, and discusses the future of surgical simulation. Readers are introduced to the different simulation modalities and technologies used in surgery with a variety of learners including students, residents, practicing surgeons, and other health-related professionals.

Practical guide for the use of simulation in surgery and surgical subspecialties Addresses best practices in surgical simulation, procedural skills training, clinical decision-making and team training, and discusses the future of surgical simulation Discusses the different simulation modalities and technologies Must read for everyone involved in the application of surgical simulation with a variety of learners, including medical students, residents, practicing surgeons, and other health-related professionals Written and edited by leaders in the field
