Dry & Wet Labs

Our SST program (Surgical Skills Transfer) surgical simulation and training offers an opportunity to transfer the experiences of experts and practice surgical skills outside of the operating room environment. There is enormous potential to address patient safety and risk management concerns.

By practicing on the same day, theoretical learning can be converted into practical performance. Pre-operative to post-operative considerations are taught in detail. Technology and techniques are explained and demonstrated, enabling the simulation of surgeries and the management of complications. Trainees will be better prepared to optimize outcomes.

Level 1: Basic Training

1st Day / Part I

Theoretical Program:

  • Phaco Dynamic
  • s Practical Lectures
  • Maneuvering and Instruments Manipulation
  • Basic Surgical Steps
  • Theoretical Knowledge
  • Practical Knowledge

Practical Program:

  • Session I: Dry-Lab: Capsulorhexis
    • Following up step by step (capsulorhexis techniques) and challenges using all the required instruments in different techniques.
  • Session II: Wet-Lab: Phaco Surgery Basic Skills
    • Phaco surgery step by step with nucleus management, chopping, irrigation & aspiration, and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
    • Using very special eyes and tools which are very similar to human eyes, allowing the simulation of real situations and mastering the techniques.

Level 2: Advanced Training
