BBASS will demonstrate the principles and offer many low-fidelity models that will extend and train your skills. These models simulate various surgical scenarios, allowing surgeons to practice knot tying in a controlled, risk-free environment. By providing hands-on experience, these models help surgeons understand the nuances of surgical knots and refine their techniques.

Low-fidelity models, while simple, offer numerous benefits:

· Accessibility: These models are affordable and easily accessible, making them ideal for practice outside of the operating room.

· Repetition: They allow for repeated practice, which is essential for skill mastery.

· Feedback: Immediate feedback can be provided, helping surgeons correct mistakes and improve their technique.

The ability to tie a secure knot is a fundamental skill in surgical practice. It requires practice, ambidexterity, and a deep understanding of basic principles. BBASS provides valuable resources and models to help surgeons refine their skills and ensure surgical success. By dedicating time to mastering this essential technique, surgeons can significantly improve patient outcomes and contribute to the overall success of surgical procedures.
