在过去的几年中，兽医教育中模拟器的使用一直在增加。这是外科课程的基础，作为模拟器可以为学生提供更好的学习环境。兽医外科实践课中通常教授的两种程序是肾切除术和膀胱切开术。然而,这些课程中缺乏模拟器，限制了使用尸体的培训选择，它们有许多相关的缺点，包括自溶的可能性。这项研究的目的是开发和评估简单的肾切除术和膀胱切开术模拟器的价值，该模拟器可以替代外科实用课程中尸体的使用。模拟器,代表腹腔，膀胱,肾脏，输尿管,血管和脂肪组织，是用合成材料建造的。为了评估它的有用性和学生的接受度，学习成果和学生满意度，对于模拟器和道德来源的狗尸体，进行了比较。学生们完成了李克特量表问卷，并使用诊断内容验证（DCV）模型评估答案。模拟器被学生们接受了，输尿管撕裂和结扎手术取得了最好的分数；肾血管结扎和膀胱缝合实践也取得了良好的效果。分数表明，模拟器在训练过程中提供了可接受的体验，并增加了学生执行该程序的信心。
The use of simulators in veterinary education has been increasing over the last few years. This is fundamental for surgical classes, as simulators can provide a better learning environment for the students. Two procedures commonly taught in veterinary surgical practical classes are nephrectomy and cystotomy. However, the lack of simulators for use in these classes limits the training options to the use of cadavers, which have a number of associated disadvantages, including the potential for autolysis. The aim of this study was to develop and assess the value of a simple nephrectomy and cystotomy simulator that could replace the use of cadavers in surgical practical classes. The simulator, which represented the abdominal cavity, bladder, kidneys, ureter, vessels and adipose tissue, was constructed by using synthetic materials. To evaluate its usefulness and acceptance by the students, the learning outcomes and student satisfaction, for both the simulator and an ethically sourced dog cadaver, were compared. The students completed a Likert scale questionnaire, and the answers were evaluated by using the Diagnostic Content Validation (DCV) model. The simulator was well accepted by the students, with the best scores achieved for the ureter divulsion and ligation procedures; good results were also recorded for the kidney vessel ligature and urinary bladder suture practice. The scores showed that the simulator provided an acceptable experience during the training process and increased the confidence of the students in performing the procedure.
