Exercises
LapSim Cholecystectomy features the Cholecystectomy procedure divided into two parts.
Initially, the gall bladder must be carefully grasped, stretched and held. Dissection may then be carried out using several different instruments, including grasper, diathermy grasper, and diathermy hook - each interacting with the simulated tissue in a realistic way. Once the bile duct and blood vessel have been dissected free, clips are applied, and the vessel and duct cut with scissors. If required, a suction device is also available during the procedure.

Here the task is to dissect free and remove the gall bladder from the liver bed. When the task begins, the cystic duct and the cystic artery have already been clipped and divided. The gall bladder must be carefully grasped then stretched up and to the left or right. The fatty tissue is subsequently dissected. The menues offer a selection of instruments. Bleeding is stopped by diathermy and the rinsing and suction device can be used to clean up. The task is completed when all tissue binding the gall bladder to the liver bed has been removed.
