 In the daily experience of plastic surgery residents, encountering various “slow-down” moments is common. For example, there may be uncertainty regarding the drawing of skin-incision designs, and even after receiving surgical guidance from attending physicians based on predetermined designs, reproducing similar cases can be challenging, leading to moments of hesitation. In addition, although one may possess anatomical knowledge, there are instances in which uncertainty regarding the anatomy in the surgical field causes a pause in the procedure.

 To address these challenges, I have devised the “meridian incision method” as an educational tool for duplicated thumb surgery. After a thorough understanding of the basic anatomical details is confirmed, the incision line can be easily drawn along the meridian direction of the supernumerary digit, facilitating the initiation of the surgery. Progressing as if dissecting the finger allows for clearer anatomical observations. Incorporating fundamental surgical techniques in hand surgery during this process has also been identified as a valuable training opportunity. This paper provides the details of the meridian incision methodʼs procedures and instructional methods.
