Laparotomy Closure: A Review of Available Education Training Models.

CONCLUSION: Each model has practical benefits in its ability to mimic in vitro anatomy and the experiential similarities to actual laparotomy closure. However, there are also limitations and potential cost-prohibitive factors for individual models. Overall, while there have been some advances in synthetic and virtual models, human cadaver and porcine models remain the most similar to human abdominal wall closures.
