17 2023 2023-04-26 Teaching of topographic anatomy and operative surgery to foreign students at the De-partment of Operative Surgery and Topographic Anatomy began relatively long ago. Recent-ly, the teaching methodology has changed since it became quite difficult to use cadaveric ma-terial in practical classes. Modern technologies have been introduced into the educational pro-cess to make up for this shortcoming, as well as the opportunity for students to independently perform operations on laparoscopic simulators and practice suturing skills https://repo.bashgmu.ru/publication/1651 https://repo.bashgmu.ru/files/1822
