title: [Is experimental surgery necessary or essential in the training program of a pediatric surgeon?].
abstract: Many surgical procedures performed in pediatric surgery have a slow learning curve, the volume of patients and the existence of complex diseases that require extensive training and surgical skill, have taken our service to create a global training program of experimental surgery. This program based on the simulation and training invasive procedures in real anatomical models, aims to educate our residents in a global and efficiently way in order to obtain an improvement of technical training, and increased patient safety result of experience and expertise wined in the experimental animal. This paper presents the main features, objectives and results obtained with this training program and seeks to promote the incorporation of simulation programs in live animal as an essential part of the training of pediatric surgery resident.
