the continuous training of the surgeons
One of the solutions that have been proposed in the paper is the continuous training of the surgeons. Since the institutions have been recorded to misuse the surgical staplers, one of the leading causes of this is related to a lack of knowledge. The technology used in surgical stapling, knowledge, and health care setting keeps on changing. The usage of staples also varies to fit the changes in technology (Attigah & Schäfer, 2019). This implies that there is a need for well-organized training programs that offer education to all caregivers in different facilities. The surgeons and other health workers should be educated on the matter of using the surgical staple, the procedure of stapling, maintenance of staples, and the way of controlling the infections that might occur at the stapled tissues.
The training should be refreshed anytime there is a new technology introduced into the surgical stapling technique. There is a need to have mandatory training after every four years for the surgeons to acquire the certificate and license of applying the surgical staplers to the patients (Attigah & Schäfer, 2019). The surgeons are to be given the exams at the end of the training, and they should pass the exams first before attaining the license of using the staples. Such a form of training will make it possible to ensure that all those who are involved in the use of surgical staplers are competent enough to minimize the potential misuse of the surgical staples. This makes continuous education to be the best method of ensuring that quality assurance is guaranteed in the use of surgical staplers. The continuous education facilitates, lifelong learning; as it focuses on the development and maintaining skills, knowledge, as well as a good relationship with the patients, thus, ensuring that there is a competent practice (Ahmed, Wang, Ashrafian, & Layer, 2013). The use of surgical stapler requires the mastering of skills to ensure that the misuse is avoided. The continuous training should consist of practical skills such as skin suturing; the basic care of the wound should also be involved in continuous learning to ensure that wounds are cared even about stapling. How and when to administer local anaesthetic are also essential in the stapling pin use to reduce the chance. There can also be a simulation training program should implement acquiring the skills in a safe manner which is also economically friendly. The junior surgeons should consider continuous education on the anatomical structure before stapling. The goal of continuing education is to ensure that surgeons using surgical staplers have improved knowledge through symposiums, workshops, formal courses, as well as conferences. Additionally, it helps in maintaining an excellent reputation for the healthcare facility.
