Many studies have performed all over world to develop a training model for rehearsal of techniques in laparoscopic procedures. The stomach, esophagus, small intestine, uterus, spleen, and kidney of a pig should be prepared for this training model. This involved cleaning and emptying the stomach and small bowel, then preparing the pouch of the stomach, intestine, uterus, spleen and kidney by stapling. The whole specimen should be placed on a prepared tray and mounted in an abdominal trainer box, with an access point created where the main target of dissection for laparoscopic surgery was externalized to allow the surgeon to perform the surgery.In one study after the initial development work, the phantom has been used to train 50 surgeons in the skills for laparoscopic procedures.The trainees were a mixture of specialist registrars in the latter years of training and consultants who has started performing laparoscopic surgery. Each trainee completed an evaluation form which was then analysed for their feedback regarding the laparoscopic training model.
Specific comments from individual laparoscopic trainees included best practical was taken as which model was best and what they liked best. After all the data collected it was found that ideal model for laparoscopic surgery is very important for laparoscopic surgeon to develop there laparoscopic skill.
Laparoscopic surgery is a surgery on image it is not a real surgery it is a virtual surgery and it should be mandetory for every surgeon to develop there skill over tissue training model for laparoscopic skill aquisition.
