“…1712-1794) (see Figure 1 ) was officially registered as a midwife in Paris in February 1740, where she initially practiced. 2 , 16 – 18 In 1751 she followed the call of a wealthy, philanthropic landowner and from then on worked in a rural area. 2 , 17 , 19 In October 1759, Madame du Coudray was commissioned by King Louis XV to educate rural midwives in view of the high infant mortality rate in his kingdom and the accompanying population decline – at that time, approximately 200,000 newborns died annually in rural France due to insufficient, obstetric expertise.…”

“… 5 , 15 , 19 This allowed complex deliveries with their fatal consequences to be re-enacted and trained in a safe setting. 16 First manufacted in 1756, such a phantom offered manifold features, represented a striking level of detail with enormously complex functionality, and was produced in larger numbers and different versions for the first time. 2 , 17 , 19 , 20 As a result, their phantoms became widely known beyond the country's borders, enjoyed great popularity, and contributed significantly to the progress of practical education.…”

“…Due to the documented production in high numbers from generally available materials, a less elaborately manufactured version was also created for 200 livres compared to the previous two models. 2,8,16,17 When Madame du Coudray demonstrated La Machine at the Académie Royale de Chirurgie in Paris in May 1756, obstetrician André Levret, one of the reviewers, was deeply impressed. 2,8,17,18 He considered La Machine less as a fantôme than as a mannequin, a term first used around 1730a puppet is, after all, more tangible than a phantom.…”

For 300 years now, obstetrics has drawn on the concept of simulation training to not only teach anatomy and physiology theoretically, but to literally infuse it practically. In an 18th century scientific culture, which was predominantly patriarchal, the French royal midwife Angelique Marguerite Le Boursier du Coudray excelled in this field. Using La Machine, one of the first obstetric phantoms, she taught thousands of midwives and even physicians. The exponential increase in publications on obstetric simulations in recent years continues to underline their current relevance, and Madame du Coudray was once at the forefront with her mannequin, probably the most sophisticated phantom of its time, a symbiosis of practical-robust architecture and anatomical-theoretical accuracy. In retrospect, it is therefore worthwhile to take a closer look at this pioneer and her obstetric phantoms, applied in the first national simulation-based training course, and to evaluate them in the overall picture of the development of anatomically correct replicas for practice-oriented training with detailed, flexible exercise – back to the roots.

Introduction. The use of simulation in surgery has made it possible to shorten learning curves through deliberate practice. Although it has been incorporated long ago, there are still no clear recommendations to standardize its development and implementation. This manuscript aims to share recommendations based on our experience of more than twelve years of employing and improving a methodology in laparoscopic surgical simulation. Topics for Reflection. To transfer surgical skills to a trainee, we base our methodology on a three-pillar framework: The hardware and infrastructure (tools to train with), the training program itself (what to do), and the feedback (how to improve). Implementing a cost-effective program is feasible: the hardware does not need to be high fidelity to transfer skills, but the program needs to be validated. These pillars have evolved over time by incorporating technology: the on-site guidance from experts has changed to a remote and asynchronous modality by video recording the trainee’s execution, and by enabling remote and asynchronous feedback. The feedback provider does not necessarily have to be an expert clinician in the subject, but a person previously trained to be a trainer. This allows for deliberate practice until mastery has been reached and learning curves are consolidated. Conclusions. Recommendations based on the experience of our center have been presented, explaining the framework of our strategy. Considering these suggestions, it is hoped that our simulation methodology can aid the development and implementation of effective simulation-based programs for other groups and institutions.

Amaç: Kökleri derinlerde ve güçlü olan ebelik mesleği tarihinde, iz bırakan önemli kimlikler bulunmaktadır. Bu kimliklerde biri de Angélique-Marguerite Le Boursier du Coudray ya da daha yaygın adıyla Madame du Coudray’dır. Bu çalışmada ebelik mesleği ve obstetri alanına önemli katkıları bulunan Madame du Coudray’in başarılı çalışmalarını ve eserlerini tanıtmak amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: İlgili literatür taranmış ve Madame du Coudray ile ilgili veriler elde edilmiştir. Madame du Coudray'in doğum simülatörü fotoğrafı Musée Flaubert et d'histoire de la médecine, Réunion des musées Métropole Rouen Normandie'den yazılı izin alınarak kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Madame du Coudray obstetri tarihinde yerini almış ve Kralın ebesi unvanıyla Fransa’ya önemli hizmetler sunmuş ünlü bir ebedir. On sekizinci yüzyılda Fransa’da günümüzde de kullanılmaya devam eden teori ve pratiği birleştirdiği eğitim modelini geliştirmiştir. Madame du Coudray’in eserleri içinde en önemlisi olarak atfedilen “Phantom, La Machine” adlı eseri, günümüz simülasyon maketlerinin ve simülasyon eğitiminin öncüsü olmuştur. Ayrıca simülasyon eğitimini teoriğe uyarladığı diğer bir önemli eseri Doğum Sanatının Özeti (Abrégé de l'Art des Accouchements) adlı obstetri kitabıdır. Bu kitapta kullanılan basım teknikleri, görseller ve önemli teorik bilgileri yazıldığı dönem için önemli yenilikçi özellikler göstermektedir. Sonuç: Ebe Madame du Coudray obstetrik alanda yaptığı başarılı çalışmaları ile geliştirdiği eğitim modeli ve bıraktığı eserleri ile günümüz yenilik ve gelişmelerinin altyapısını hazırlayan önemli bir tarihi kimliktir. Madame du Coudray gibi ebelik mesleği tarihinde mesleğin gücünü ve önemini ortaya çıkaran önemli kimliklerin Türkçe literatüre kazandırılması ebelik tarihi literatürüne katkı sağlayacaktır.
