Background.
When a new surgical technique is brought into a department, it is often experienced surgeons that learn it first and then pass it on to younger surgeons in training.
This study seeks to clarify the problems and positive experiences when teaching and training surgeons in the Onstep technique for inguinal hernia repair, seen from the instructor’s point of view.
Methods.
We designed a qualitative study using a focus group to allow participants to elaborate freely and facilitate a discussion.
Participants were surgeons with extensive experience in performing the Onstep technique from Germany, UK, France, Belgium, Italy, Greece, and Sweden.
Results.
Four main themes were found, with one theme covering three subthemes: instruction of others (experience, patient selection, and tailored teaching), comfort, concerns/fear, and anatomy.
Conclusion.
Surgeons receiving a one-day training course should preferably have experience with other types of hernia repairs.
If trainees are inexperienced, the training setup should be a traditional step-by-step programme.
A training setup should consist of an explanation of the technique with emphasis on anatomy and difficult parts of the procedure and then a training day should follow.
Surgeons teaching surgery can use these findings to improve their everyday practice.
