“…The theory applying to the respective anatomical region and the surgical procedure are introduced in the first 3 h, followed by 5 h of surgical training. The theoretical part consists of on-screen presentations, videos, enhanced by subject literature [25][26][27], thin sliced specimens of the respective anatomical region [28,29] and presected ethanol-glycerin-fixed specimens from the Institute of Anatomy, University of Leipzig [30,31]. Three body donors are usually utilized to practice the surgical exposures of major anatomical regions in a freely selectable sequence: Session 1: shoulder and proximal humerus.…”

The surgical exposures workshop provides preclinical students with clinically relevant anatomy and manual dexterity. It may positively influence the decision to follow a surgical career. This course, however, requires extensive teaching resources. The given concept may help implement practical medical skills in the preclinical curriculum, strengthening the professional identity of surgeons and anatomists.

“…[1] Most often used polymers are the silicone, epoxy or polyester resins which keep the anatomical specimens in a dry, odourless state and they require minimal aftercare. [2,3] All of these plastinates are devoid of harmful effects of formalin and they serve as excellent teaching tools in medical education and as great artistic museum specimens. Additionally, plastination is an outstanding tool to study cross-sectional anatomy as utilization of sectional imaging modalities in medicine has heightened the need to understand sectional anatomy.…”

Plastination is the method of long term preservation of the biological tissues with completely visible surface and high durability. The plastinates are devoid of harmful effects of formalin and they serve as excellent teaching tools in education. Additionally, plastination is an outstanding tool to study cross-sectional anatomy. The three major methods used in plastination are silicone plastination, sheet plastination with epoxy method and sheet plastination with polyester method. Silicone plastination is the most versatile technique which can be used for the cadavers, organs, portions and slices. Fresh or formalin-fixed (embalmed) specimens can be plastinated with this technique. More flexible specimens can be obtained if fresh tissues are preferred. Silicone plastination consists of five main steps. These are the preparation of the specimen (dissection and fixation if necessary), dehydration, defatting (degreasing), forced impregnation and curing (hardening). Epoxy plastination preserves 2-5 mm slices of biological tissues by using epoxy resins. In this technique, all tissue fluid and a significant amount of fatty tissue is replaced with a curable epoxy resin mixture. Epoxy plastination method provides precise semi-transparent sectional specimens and in these preparations; gross anatomical structures can be examined with the naked eye in a superb quality down to a sub macroscopic level. Polyester plastination and classic silicone plastination techniques utilize the similar basic principles. In polyester plastination method, the tissue fluid is removed and is replaced with a curable polyester resin. This method can be used for head brain and body slices.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kadavra temininde yaşanan sıkıntı nedeniyle, proseksiyonu yapılmış ve uzun yıllar kullanılmış kadavraları plastine ederek kullanım ömürlerini uzatmak ve sağlık açısından olumsuzluk oluşturmayan bir ortamda anatomi laboratuvar derslerinin yapılabilmesini sağlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem:Yirmi yıldan uzun süredir formalin ile tespitli halde saklanan ve derslerde kullanılan kadavralardan alınan, kısmen diseksiyonu yapılmış, radius ve ulna ortasından itibaren önkol ve eli kapsayan bir örnek, biri sağ diğeri sol iki el ile bir sağ dirsek olmak üzere toplam dört örnek üzerinde çalışıldı. Gerekli düzeltme diseksiyonları ve kesit alma işlemleri yapıldı. Tüm örnekler içerdikleri formalinden kurtulabilmeleri için akan musluk suyunda bir süre yıkamaya bırakıldı. Daha sonra standart plastinasyon tekniğinin dehidrasyon (kurutma) ve degreasyon (yağ çözdürme) aşamaları uygulandı. Standart teknikten farklı olarak emdirme aşamasında silikon polimerlerinden oluşan karışıma ksilol eklendi. Kullanılan ksilol kürlenme sonrası negatif basınç altında plastinatlardan uzaklaştırıldı. Bulgular: Kesitsel örnekler plastine olunca şekillerini korumuşlardır. Kullanılan ksilol sayesinde hafif ve esnek bir yapı kazanmışlardır. Ayrıca eklemler kısmen hareket ettirilebilmektedir. Tüm örnekler kuru, kokusuz ve dış ortam koşullarına dayanıklı duruma gelmiştir. Sonuç:Uzun yıllar formalin ile tespit edilmiş kadavra ve organların plastinasyonu gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu sayede çok daha uzun bir süre eğitim materyali olarak kullanılabileceklerdir. Ksilol kullanılarak modifiye edilen standart plastinasyon tekniği, maliyet ve süre açısından ekonomi sağlamaktadır.Anahtar Sözcükler: Plastinasyon, tıp eğitimi, kadavra, formalin. Summary Aim: The aims of this study are to prolong the usage time of old fixed and prosected cadavers with the plastination method and rehabilitation of anatomy laboratory conditions.
