Development and Pilot Evaluation of an e-Learning Module for Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT) in Total Breast Reconstruction in the Dutch Healthcare System: Insights From 9 Plastic Surgeons

We developed and pilot-tested an e-learning module for AFT in total breast reconstruction. The module was well received and considered clinically relevant, and could hereby fill an (inter)national gap in standardised training. Future research should evaluate learning outcomes quantitatively, compare efficacy to traditional training, and assess long-term impact on surgical practice.

Abstract

We developed and pilot-tested an e-learning module for AFT in total breast reconstruction. The module was well received and considered clinically relevant, and could hereby fill an (inter)national gap in standardised training. Future research should evaluate learning outcomes quantitatively, compare efficacy to traditional training, and assess long-term impact on surgical practice.
