ABSTRACT

Objective: To present a simple, useful and low cost model of simulator for training elementary technical abilities in laparoscopic surgery. Setting: Hospital Militar Regional, Acapulco, Gro: Second Level Health Care Regional Hospital. Material and methods: It is made a simulator with a newborn cradle, a surgical cloth, adhesive tape and a just sacrificed chicken. The simulator it is used in the training for the residents, boarding and medicine students to acquire the dominion on the basic procedures in laparoscopic surgery. Results: The simulator is assembled easy and quickly, is useful and it’s extremely cheap. Conclusion: The described model is a practical and economic alternative to acquire and conserve abilities in laparoscopic surgery.
