Abstract

In surgery, the construction of knowledge is shaped in two scenarios: evidence-based medicine, and experiential learning. The former has become an essential pillar in this process. Based on this fact, clinical practice guidelines have been developed. However, their transient nature, constant renewal, and lack of individualization distance them from daily clinical activity. On the other hand, there is the construction of knowledge through vicarious and experiential learning. Its existence is linked to the beginning of medicine, and its importance is irrefutable. However, it is laden with the “truth effect”, surgical dogma and singularism. When integrating the construction of knowledge in these scenarios, critical thinking skills are paramount and necessary to guide the surgeon in the decision-making process within the context of surgical dynamism. This article explores this situation and its impact.

Resumen

En cirugía la construcción de conocimiento está moldeada en dos escenarios, la medicina basada en la evidencia y el aprendizaje experiencial. La primera se ha constituido como un pilar esencial en este proceso. A partir de esta se han desarrollado las guías de práctica clínica. Sin embargo, su temporalidad, su constante renovación y la falta individualización, las distancian del actuar diario. Por otro lado, está la construcción de conocimiento mediante el aprendizaje vicario y experiencial. Su existencia va ligada al inicio de la medicina, y su importancia es irrefutable. No obstante, va cargado del “efecto verdad”, del dogma quirúrgico y del singularismo. El desarrollo de un sentido crítico frente a la integración de la constricción del conocimiento en estos escenarios, es primordial y necesario para guiar al cirujano en la toma de decisiones en el dinamismo quirúrgico. El presente artículo explora esta situación y su impacto.
