Terms & Conditions of Use

This study introduces a low-cost laparoscopic training box, enabling surgeons to practice minimally invasive techniques. This accessible model facilitates skill development outside the operating room, improving surgical proficiency.

Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Education
Medical Device Development

Background:

Laparoscopic surgery offers benefits like faster recovery and reduced pain but presents training challenges.
Traditional laparoscopic training methods are less accessible compared to open surgery.
Surgeon formation in laparoscopy requires accessible and effective training tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel, low-cost training box model for laparoscopic surgery.
To provide an affordable solution for laparoscopic skill acquisition.
To enhance surgeon training accessibility in minimally invasive procedures.

Main Methods:

The training box is constructed using readily available materials.
Key components include a chrome mini jet, rubber thread, and a webcam on an aluminum handle.
