EVALUATION OF A TRAINING COURSE ON OPEN VASCULAR SURGICAL TECHNIQUES IN AORTOILIAC PATHOLOGY - 5 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Introduction The aim of this prospective study was to assess the efficacy of a vascular surgery course (2008–2012), and to verify the viability and the feasibility of vascular anastomoses. Material and method The vascular surgical techniques performed simultaneously on pigs were: enlargement prosthetic angioplasty, abdominal aortic interposition graft and aortoiliac bypass. The endpoints of the study were the surgical skills and the technical quality, assessed on a scale ranging from 1 (satisfactory) to 3 (very good) for our participants. Results A significant improvement in vascular surgical skills tasks was observed during the study years and we also found a significant statistical association between the quality of the suture and the surgical technique used (Kendall coefficient=0.71, p=0.001<0.05). Conclusions Our course contributed to the improvement of the technical vascular surgical skills of the operator teams, reproducing in vivo, in pigs, the intraoperative environment of human patients.

Morphological Aspects of Optic Disk in Animals

This paper is a study of the normal variations of animal optic disk, insisting on aspects like optic disc form, color and dimension. The study applies indirect ophthalmoscopy technique, and we used indirect ophthalmoscope Heine Omega 2C. For this paperwork we use animals from canine and ovine species, 150 dogs and 200 sheep by different breed, sex and age. The results had been as we expect , we find major differences in color , shape in the same species, but we find important elements too, who became a species characteristic, and made this component an important clue in recognition of that species eye fundus.
