LapSim Cholecystectomy simulates the critical steps in the frequently performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure. In the first part, the cystic duct and artery are clipped and cut off. In the second part, the gall bladder is separated and removed from the liver.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common enough procedure, but it is nevertheless a demanding one. If and when mistakes and errors occur, they may lead to severe complications that can be both hazardous to the patient and potentially costly to the clinic performing the procedure. LapSim Cholecystectomy aims at reducing this risk by improving skills in a safe simulated environment.
SimPraxis™ is a complement to the LapSim System and together create an environment where students can achieve cognitive, depth-perception, psychomotor and hand-eye coordination skill development.
