  • To address the limitations of existing laparoscopic simulators.

Main Methods:

  • Design and construction of a novel, inexpensive laparoscopic simulator.
  • Integration of a practical port insertion module.
  • Inclusion of a unique mobile light and camera source.

Main Results:

  • The developed simulator is cheap and easy to build.
  • It provides a practical port insertion training component.
  • Features a novel mobile light and camera system.

Conclusions:

  • This simulator offers a viable, cost-effective solution for laparoscopic surgical training.
  • It enhances skill acquisition through practical port insertion and integrated visualization.
  • Provides an accessible alternative for surgical trainees to hone skills at home.
