Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human Anatomy is one of the most challenging subjects in medical programs. Students show difficulty in the comprehension, recognition, three-dimensional understanding and relation of anatomical structures; thus, the practice of dissection is an excellent pedagogical aid. Objective: The objective of this article is to describe three bovine eye dissection techniques that provide a practical option for the study of human eye anatomy, complementing the knowledge acquired theoretically. Materials and methods: A bibliographic review of textbooks and articles in indexed databases, review of dissection protocols and illustrative videos was carried out. Six bovine eyes were used; three for the first exploratory dissection and other three following the previously devised dissection techniques. The dissections were performed in the Amphitheater of the Morphology Department of the Universidad del Valle. Results: Three bovine eye dissection techniques were obtained, which were grouped to design a Standard Operating Procedure. On the other hand, photographic material of the anatomical structures of the bovine ocular bulb and a descriptive video of the three dissection techniques were obtained. All the material is used as a complement to the theoreticalpractical classes of Anatomy of the students of Medicine and Surgery of the Universidad del Valle and the Ophthalmology postgraduate course. Discussion: The realization of the three dissection techniques and the compilation of them in a dissection guide facilitates teaching by teachers, as well as the study and anatomical understanding of the different structures of the human eye by undergraduate and graduate students.
