[Pelvi-trainer, a training device in operative pelviscopy for teaching endoscopic ligation and suture technics]

Unlike in laparotomy, the art of pelviscopic surgery cannot be learned through assisting. For this reason, a training dummy, called a Pelvi-Trainer, has been developed. With this device, all surgical measures occurring in abdominal surgery can be simulated, such as adhesiolysis, internal ligature, internal sutures, resection, adnexectomy, enucleation of myomas, etc. The Pelvi-Trainer, designed for a three-stage plan, allows one to become gradually acquainted with the field of endoscopic surgery, and to make the transition from binocular vision to perfect three-dimensional control over intra-abdominal surgery under monocular endoscopic vision.
