Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, koyun omurgası ve düşük maliyetli bir düzenek ile biportal endoskopik omurga cerrahisi için etkili ve uygulanabilir bir eğitim modeli geliştirmenin mümkün olup olmadığını araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada, koyun omurgası üzerinde gerçek ameliyata yakın bir ortam oluşturularak biportal endoskopi tekniğine adaptasyon çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Görüntüleme için düşük maliyetli evrensel seri veri yollu endoskop, laptop, cerrahi işlemler için temel el aletleri ve hobi tipi el frezesi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmada, 5 adet koyun omurgası üzerinde toplam 28 biportal spinal endoskopik işlem uygulanmıştır. Tüm girişimler de laminotomi, flavektomi ve diskektomi aşamaları uygulanabilmiştir. Model, cerraha endoskopik alet kullanımı, görüntüleme ve anatomik yapıların tanımlanması açısından pratik yapma olanağı sağlamıştır.
Sonuç: Koyun omurgası modeli, temel cerrahi adımların öğrenilmesi ve endoskopik tekniklere adaptasyon açısından uygun, erişilebilir ve gerçekçi bir eğitim ortamı sunmaktadır. Anatomik farklılıkların farkında olunması koşuluyla, bu model özellikle kaynak kısıtlı ortamlarda etkili bir eğitim aracı olabilir.
Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate whether it is possible to develop an effective and feasible training model for biportal endoscopic spine surgery using an ovine spine and a low-cost setup.
Methods: Adaptation exercises for the biportal endoscopic technique were performed on an ovine spine in an environment simulating actual surgery. A low-cost USB endoscope and laptop were used for visualization, while basic surgical hand instruments and a hobby-type handheld drill were used for the surgical procedures.
Results: A total of 28 biportal spinal endoscopic procedures were performed on five ovine spines. All interventions included laminotomy, flavectomy, and discectomy stages. The model allowed the surgeon to gain practical experience in handling endoscopic instruments, image guidance, and identification of anatomical structures.
Conclusion: The ovine spine model offers an accessible and realistic training environment for learning the fundamental surgical steps and adapting to endoscopic techniques. If anatomical differences are recognized, this model can serve as an effective educational tool, particularly in resource-limited settings.
