Deceased Donor Pancreas Model Enhances Surgical Training in Pancreaticojejunostomy

A novel training model utilizing deceased donor pancreata significantly boosts surgical residents’ skills in pancreaticojejunostomy. Nearly 87% of participants reported increased confidence, while over 82% noted enhancements in anastomotic technique and execution. Faculty assert that inadequate exposure hinders residents’ participation, but access to this training lab could bridge that gap, leading to improved tissue handling and anatomical understanding in complex surgeries.
