Course participants’ response regarding the utility and role of the enhanced cadaveric model

Question Median agreement level (interquartile range) (n = 44)
Perceived utility This injected model facilitated the learning of flap anatomy and procedure 9.00 (8.00, 10.00)
This injected model promotes surgical dexterity and level of skill needed for tissue dissection 9.00 (8.00, 10.00)
This model allows for immediate feedback on surgical technique and decision-making 8.50 (7.25, 10.00)
This model was a true simulation of the conditions of live surgery 8.00 (7.00, 8.00)
Role This model would improve future training 9.50 (8.00, 10.00)
Injected models are superior in training than cadaveric models without injection 9.00 (8.00, 10.00)
This injected model should be integrated into all areas of the plastic surgery training curriculum 9.00 (8.00, 10.00)
Training with this injected model should be integrated into flap raising training courses 9.50 (8.00, 10.00)
This model improved my confidence and learning experience 9.00 (8.00, 10.00)
