Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

LAPSIM is a virtual reality laparoscopic surgery simulator with tactile feedback, detailed graphics and an immersive training experience. It provides a training path from fundamental skills to full laparoscopic procedures.

It is designed for residents and surgeons who need to build manual dexterity before operating on real patients: it supports individual, self-paced training with instant performance feedback, and includes an admin mode to manage custom courses or choose from validated curricula.

The platform can be extended with procedure modules in general surgery, gynaecology, urology, thoracic surgery (VATS) and veterinary surgery, and with LapSim 360, a virtual reality headset that places the trainee in a virtual operating theatre with background distractions.

Knowledge

What you learn

Patient simulator modality. The competencies this equipment trains, in the language of the training plan.

  • Develop hand-eye coordination, depth perception and psychomotor skills.
  • Handle laparoscopic instruments and the camera accurately, including two-handed manoeuvres.
  • Master intracorporeal suturing and knot tying, from basic stitches to anastomosis.
  • Perform the critical steps of each procedure and make decisions during the case.
  • Control bleeding and avoid injury to critical structures.
  • Practise complications and cases with anatomical variations without risk to the patient.
  • Train independently, at one’s own pace, with instant and objective performance feedback.
