These procedures are relatively infrequent and complex, in which a structured approach is important. Therefore, training on an affordable model could be beneficial.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A low-cost ARM model was developed. The base was reusable and the perineal body disposable. Both expert pediatric surgeons (Experts) and residents\/fellows (Target group) were recruited for this study. After testing the model, they completed a questionnaire regarding the realism and didactic value of the model, using a 5-point Likert scale.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Forty-four participants were recruited (Target group <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u200920, Experts <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u200924). The model has high mean scores of 3.8\u20134.4 for the total group and even higher on several aspects by the Target group. The experts regarded the haptics and manipulation of the fistula less realistic than the Target group (3.7 versus 4.3, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20090.021 and 4.2 versus 4.6, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20090.047).
