Abstract
PURPOSE: To demonstrate the possibility of laparoscopic technique training and refinement at the millimetric level. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A physical trainer and Winstar rats were used. RESULTS: The training system is visually similar to pneumoperitoneum. The laparoscopic technique is perfected in a visual space illuminated by white light, with two-dimensional feedback and at a geometric level that allows for refinement of the technique. CONCLUSIONS: It is possible to refine the technique at this geometric level at a low cost and without requiring laparoscopic equipment. In addition, optics tests indicate the possibility in the short term of refining the laparoscopic technique to the microanastomotic level.
