LaparoS™ Essential skills

This module provides basic psychomotor skills training for laparoscopic surgery. It contains cases inspired by FLS (Fundamentals in Laparoscopic Surgery) as well as essential suturing and camera navigation training.

LaparoSLaparoscopy

LaparoS™ Suturing

Cumulative and step-by-step training cases focusing on specific skills for safe needle manipulation and intracorporeal knot tying (half knot, square knot, and surgeon’s knot). Using two needle holders, or a grasper and a needle holder, trainees can hone their skills with precision and confidence, ultimately enhancing their proficiency and readiness for certification, such as the GESEA MIGS.

LaparoS™ General surgery

This module offers condensed diagnostic and therapeutic training cases that focus on specific clinical skills and adverse events with highly realistic scenarios derived from cholecystectomy, appendectomy and ventral hernia.

LaparoS™ Colorectal surgery

This module offers condensed diagnostic and therapeutic training cases with highly realistic scenarios derived from right colectomy.

Now we have got the possibility to really touch things, to move things inside the abdomen, we can train as a team with real instruments that we also use in our OR. We have the possibility to train emergency situations and learn how to handle complications, such as damage of the vessels or cutting into the bowel, we can train those things without the need to experience it in real life.

Dr. med. Felix Neis

Chief Physician at Women’s Health Clinic at Tübingen University Hospital, Germany

You are able to mimic exactly what we do on a real patient […] I like the idea that we can actually intercede and add complications, we can add bleeding, we can add a leakage from the gallbladder for example […] so all those things give you the feel that you are in the OR.

Dr. Ivan Puente MD

General Surgery Program Director, Broward Health, Fort Lauderdale, USA

What fascinates me the most about the new simulator is really in taking not just the operation in consideration but the entire preparation: positioning trocars and being able to simulate as close as possible to reality.

Prof. Dieter Hahnloser

Chief Physician at CHUV Lausanne, Switzerland

As a simulation center manager who mainly caters to General Surgery Residents, I can say with confidence that there are few high-fidelity laparoscopic simulators that provide a top-notch training experience like VirtaMed's LaparoS. What I truly enjoy about using VirtaMed products is their openness to work with your needs. For example, our program director noticed that our interns needed to work on their camera skills and VirtaMed worked closely with us to develop a custom course to help strengthen that specific gap.

Fred Wu

Program Manager General Surgery, Mount Sinai Simulation Center, New York, USA

VirtaMed’s laparoscopic simulator delivers unparalleled levels of realism and will play an important role in preparing residents for real OR scenarios, including team training and management of complications. We compared many high-fidelity simulators and are confident that the LaparoS™ is the simulator with the highest potential.
