Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) relies on 2D visual feedback, necessitating specialized psychomotor skills in surgeons.
  • Current training methods include expensive virtual trainers and limited physical trainers.
  • Existing physical trainers lack advanced visual handling options crucial for skill refinement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and describe a novel box trainer for MIS.
  • To enhance the relationship between visual/functional perspectives and surgical optics.
  • To establish improved learning protocols for MIS skills.

Main Methods:

  • A laparoscopic surgery trainer was designed and constructed, mimicking the abdominal cavity's geometry.

  • A color mini-camera provides visual feedback, with a magnetic system controlling its position and orientation.
  • The system offers 0 and 45-degree optics options for varied visual perspectives.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional trainer was developed, enabling changes in visual perspective.
    • The trainer facilitates skill development using optics beyond 0 degrees within a simulated surgical space.
    • The design allows for a geometric space similar to pneumoperitoneum.

    Conclusions:

    • A portable, easy-to-connect training system was designed, replicating real surgical illumination and visual perspectives.
    • The trainer utilizes 0 and 45-degree optics for realistic surgical simulation.
    • Its adaptable ports support skill enhancement and exploration of new surgical approaches.
