Keywords: Creatividad, Conocimiento, Cirugía General, Investigación, Técnicas de Investigación

Abstract

Introduction. Innovation has driven progress in surgery through the development and application of safe and profitable procedures that focus on solving the professional’s problems. It also offers users new choices of safe and accessible techniques and alternatives. Division of Covered Topics. Innovation in surgery is based on 1) techniques; 2) improved logistics in the practice, and 3) the design and introduction of devices and tools. Innovation should be structured in frameworks such as those proposed by IDEAL (Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long term study). It is necessary to understand the need to innovate in surgery and to propose key aspects to take into consideration during the implementation of the IDEAL framework, which represents a valuable tool for the development of innovative proposals in Latin America. Conclusions. Innovation is a path towards progress and the advancement of medicine in general. It is suggested that innovative impact can be achieved by using the proposed algorithm, associating it with the realities we face in Latin America.
