MOLINA MARTINEZ, José Luis et al. Laboratory of Experimental Surgery: technological innovation at the service of teaching, research and medical assistance. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.2, pp. 373-391.  Epub Apr 01, 2020. ISSN 1029-3043.

The Laboratory of Experimental Surgery at the University of Medical Sciences of Villa Clara has the necessary technology for the assembly and development of skills, as well as, surgical and microsurgical techniques, which are used by professionals and students in teaching and biomedical research. Several innovations were made with the recovery of equipments, instruments and disused materials; the surgical gymnasium was made up of synthetic inanimate models, and the "chicken" model was implemented as an alternative technique to the use of live animals in animal experimentation. Important research projects, training in surgery and experimental microsurgery, diverse teaching programs, and successful international courses with students and residents have been developed. The laboratory constitutes a valuable contribution of ethical, economic and sanitary alternatives, which have favored the formation of human resources and a qualified scientific-technical service for teaching and research.

Keywords : animals, laboratory; laboratory experiment; laboratory equipment.
