Millimetric laparoscopic surgery training on a physical trainer using rats

Authors: Arturo Minor Martinez, Alberto Chouleb Kalach, Daniel Lorias Espinoza

Published in: Surgical Endoscopy | Issue 1/2008

Abstract

Purpose

To demonstrate the possibility of laparoscopic technique training and refinement at the millimetric level.

Material and Methods

A physical trainer and Winstar rats were used.

Results

The training system is visually similar to pneumoperitoneum. The laparoscopic technique is perfected in a visual space illuminated by white light, with two-dimensional feedback and at a geometric level that allows for refinement of the technique.

Conclusions

It is possible to refine the technique at this geometric level at a low cost and without requiring laparoscopic equipment. In addition, optics tests indicate the possibility in the short term of refining the laparoscopic technique to the microanastomotic level.
