ABSTRACT
Foundation: the surgeon’s ability cannot be taught theoretically, but is acquired through practice; In the case of laparoscopic surgery, a simulator would be very useful in this regard.Objective: to build a craft simulator for the acquisition of skills in laparoscopic surgery.
Methods: technological innovation research, developed at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima General University Hospital, in Cienfuegos, from May 2018 to June 5, 2018. A prototype was developed and a craft simulator for training laparoscopic surgery was built with the resources that were available.
Result: A set of task system (training exercises) was developed, based on the evidence collected in the literature and appropriate to our context, as an option to complement the standard training in laparoscopic surgery.
Conclusions: the built training model is a valid and a reasonable option for the practice and acquisition of laparoscopic skills, both in hospitals and at home.
