title: [Education (university training in mechanical sutures)].
abstract: The advances in surgical sciences and their evolution, besides the increasing number of surgical residents and the low availability of the operating-rooms, have made clear the limits of the usual teaching methods and of the integrative theoretical learning instruments. The teaching of viscero-synthesis, particularly mechanical suture training, emphasizes such problems and encourages the development of additional training programmes, including simulation, before the admittance to operative procedures.
