Possibilities of using animal organs in surgical training
Abstract
The article explores the potential of using animal organs in surgical education. It highlights the advantages of this approach (anatomical similarity to human organs, availability, safe repetition of procedures), as well as its limitations and ethical considerations. Modern technological solutions and international experience are presented, demonstrating the effectiveness of combining biological practice with simulators and VR technologies in surgical training.
