Laparoscopy Virtual Reality Simulation Modules

LapVR™ Modules

The LapVR™ System combines laparoscopic simulation software with haptic-enabled hardware, providing a complete virtual reality training tool. By virtually simulating the procedures and environment of abdominal keyhole surgery, the LapVR surgical simulator can provide an effective learning experience. Clincial studies show that novice surgeons trained using laparoscopic simulators build skills that actually transfer into the OR.

The LapVR virtual reality simulator was designed to help surgeons acquire, maintain, and assess the motor skills and knowledge needed to conduct various laparoscopic procedures. The system supports both individual and team training and provides a laparoscopic training curriculum made up of five basic skills with increasing levels of difficulty. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy module with 18 case variations is also included. The online manual and video tutorial demonstrate use of the modules.
