Surgical Planning With Patient-specific Pancreaticobiliary Disease With 3D Models

Members chosen for this study group are general surgery residents. A quintet with stations composed of normal pancreaticobiliary anatomy, common bile duct tumor, stony cholecystitis, pancreatic head cancer and cholelithiasis was assembled for the study. Each station contained CT, 3D-STL images and 1:1 solid models of cases. Each imaging method associated with the scenarios of the quintet is observed by the residents of the study. An explanatory assessment measure is being used as data collection method where the perception of each imaging method is being evaluated based on their effectiveness in problem identification as well as their efficiency in diverse diagnosis and pre-surgery organization. Participants' perception of residency training was evaluated with a multi-entry survey. The focus of the survey, which was applied by our team was by domains, self determined decision-making, diverse diagnosis, academic scholarship, and scientific appraisal.
