EndoTrainer: a novel hybrid training platform for endoscopic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Endoscopy implies high demanding procedures, and their practice requires structured formation curricula supported by adequate training platforms. Physical platforms are the most standardised solution for surgical training, but over the last few years, virtual platforms have been progressively introduced. This research work presents a new hybrid, physic-virtual, endoscopic training platform that exploits the benefits of the two kind of platforms combining realistic tools and phantoms together with the capacity of measuring all relevant parameters along the execution of the exercises and of providing an objective assessment performance.

Methods

The developed platform, EndoTrainer, has been designed to train and assess surgical skills in hysteroscopy and cystoscopy foll
