Mean scores, 0–15 per domain.
○ Before● After0 → 15
Endoscopic anatomy and spatial orientation
Instrument handling and endoscopic ergonomics
Access planning and corridor establishment
Targeted bony decompression
Soft tissue handling and neural safety
Intraoperative physiology and safety management
Three items per domain, each scored 0–5. Self-reported confidence, not an assessment of independent surgical competence.
“Because it was a live animal, there was bleeding and the nerves reacted — that is what made it useful.”
Anonymous workshop participantOriginal response · 한국어
Live animal이어서 bleeding과 nerve 반응이 있어서 좋았다.
“It was the only program where I could actually use the real surgical equipment.”
Anonymous workshop participantOriginal response · 한국어
교육 프로그램 중 실제 수술 장비를 이용할 수 있었던 유일한 기회였습니다.
“Unlike the dummy or the cadaver, I could practise bleeding control as well as the technique itself.”
Anonymous workshop participantOriginal response · 한국어
직접 술기를 시행할 수 있고 dummy, 카데바와 달리 bleeding control도 연습해볼 수 있어서.
“The cadaver is anatomically identical to a patient, which I think helps more than the animal in that respect.”
Anonymous workshop participantOriginal response · 한국어
카데바의 경우 동물과 다르게 해부학적으로 동일해서 더 도움이 된 것 같습니다.
