title: [Web-based education: learning surgical procedures step-by-step with 3D visualization].
abstract: There is a need for more uniform, structured education focused on surgical procedures. We offer a standardized, step-by-step, web-based procedural training method with which surgeons can train more interns efficiently. The basis of this learning method is formed by 3D films in which surgical procedures are performed in clearly defined steps and the anatomic structures behind the surgical operating planes are further dissected. This basis is supported by online modules in which, aside from the operation, preparation and postoperative care are also addressed. Registrars can test their knowledge with exams. Trainers can see what the registrars studied, how they scored and how they progressed with their clinical skills. With the online portfolio we offer building blocks for certification and accreditation. With this clearly structured research method of constant quality, registrars are less dependent on the local trainer. In addition, through better preparation, the operation capacity can be used more efficiently for the training.
