{"title":"The role of simulation in mastering highly specialized pediatric surgery: current trends and future perspectives.","authors":"Louisa Schuffert, Sabine Drossard","doi":"10.1515/iss-2025-0015","DOIUrl":"10.1515/iss-2025-0015","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The acquisition of surgical skills in highly specialized pediatric surgical procedures - particularly the management of rare congenital anomalies - poses significant educational challenges. Traditional training models relying on apprenticeship and intraoperative exposure are often insufficient due to the rarity and complexity of such conditions. Simulation-based training offers a structured, reproducible, and risk-free environment to practice and refine surgical techniques. This scoping review examines the current landscape of simulation in pediatric surgery, focusing on anorectal malformations (ARM), esophageal atresia (EA), Hirschsprung's disease (HD) and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). A dual search strategy was applied: a systematic literature search via PubMed and a structured online search via Google for commercially available simulation models. A range of models was identified across the four index conditions, including low-fidelity, high-fidelity, hybrid, and animal tissue-based simulators. EA and CDH showed the highest diversity in simulation tools, supporting both open and minimally invasive approaches. Several of the models we identified have demonstrated face, content and construct validity, but systematic data on learning outcomes and user satisfaction remain scarce. While low-fidelity models are useful for basic skill acquisition, high-fidelity and hybrid simulations more closely replicate the operative environment and enhance decision-making and technical proficiency. However, access to high-fidelity simulators remains limited due to cost and resource constraints. By identifying current limitations and opportunities of simulation training, this scoping review provides insights into how the sustainable training of the next generation of pediatric surgeons can be mastered.</p>","PeriodicalId":44186,"journal":{"name":"Innovative Surgical Sciences","volume":"10 4","pages":"203-210"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12724479/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145828794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A narrative review.","authors":"Kim Lydia Klepka, Christian Kleber, Yasmin Youssef","doi":"10.1515/iss-2025-0018","DOIUrl":"10.1515/iss-2025-0018","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Pelvic insufficiency fractures (PIFs) are low-energy fractures typically occurring in osteoporotic bone and are associated with significant morbidity, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality. PIF requires individualized, often interdisciplinary treatment strategies combining surgical, conservative, and systemic approaches. This narrative review aims to summarize recent findings on the diagnosis, management, and outcomes of PIFs and place them in the context of existing literature. For this purpose, a selective literature search was conducted in January 2025 to identify publications on the topic of PIFs. The search was performed on PubMed and clinical studies addressing the diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and complications of PIFs from January 2024 to 2025 were selected for evaluation. A total of 11 studies with a total of 27,672 patients were included in this review. The findings emphasise the significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare burden associated with these fractures. Conventional radiography frequently fails to detect this type of fracture, thus necessitating advanced imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to ensure an early diagnosis. The treatment decision is determined by the stability of the fracture, presence and intensity of pain, and the patient's mobility levels. The treatment options, whether conservative or surgical, are adapted to these factors. The osteoporotic fracture (OF) Pelvis Score has emerged as a promising tool for guiding therapeutic strategies, though there is still potential for further development in the use of pharmaceutical treatment of underlying conditions such as osteoporosis. Despite the advances that have been made, the existing literature remains heterogeneous, underscoring the importance of conducting prospective studies and developing evidence-based guidelines.
