This device is a Virtual Reality (VR) simulator for training basic and advanced laparoscopic surgery skills. It may record user performance, evaluate it and provide progress reports. The system hardware provides geometric and spatial conditions similar to laparoscopic surgery conditions. The system software, in conjunction with the hardware, simulates the laparoscopic surgery environment. This device is able to react based on the user’s performance in interacting with the hardware and handles of surgical instruments and electrosurgery pedals, and simulates the behavior of the surgical organ.

Sina Sim is a combination of computer hardware, mechanical user interface and software modules which simulate the procedures and environment of Laparoscopic surgery, based on Virtual-Reality environment. This system not only greatly reduces the maintenance cost of training surgeons, but also will ensure maximum efficiency in learning laparoscopic surgery skills.  

Sina Sim includes:

·         Essential training Tasks which are basic software modules provide a curriculum based on MISTELS/FLS standards to maximize the efficiency in learning essential skills 

·         Advance surgery simulation which allows the users to practice real and advance surgeries in highly realistic, safe and motivating learning environment 

·         Performance reporting which allows the trainee to track development of his or her skills. Moreover, these performance data can be used to measure and assess the trainee’s current skill level.
