%X Breast surgery is a diverse field of surgery involving both the domains of general surgery and plastic surgery to safely and effectively carry out complex procedures. It plays a critical role in the surgical management of breasts, improving patients’ health, psychological well-being, and body image. It has traditionally followed a largely observational apprenticeship model. However, due to increasing patient safety concerns, the advent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and many other limitations, there is an increased need for alternative training methods.
