Background:

Traditional surgical training methods can be expensive and resource-intensive.
There is a need for accessible and cost-effective simulation tools for surgical education.

Purpose of the Study:

To create an innovative, low-cost experimental model for videosurgery training.
To provide a reproducible and affordable simulation for surgical skills development.

Main Methods:

Development of a cube-shaped wooden model with strategically placed holes and rubber stoppers.
External covering with carpet and internal lining with laminate for enhanced realism.
Model construction based on existing literature and expert supervision.

Main Results:

The developed model is significantly low-cost to produce.
The model effectively simulates various aspects of videosurgical procedures.
It offers a faithful reproduction of surgical scenarios for training purposes.

Conclusions:

The new experimental model is suitable for adoption by medical institutions globally.
It offers a cost-effective solution for enhancing surgical training programs.
Medical schools can implement this model without incurring substantial financial burdens.
