MIST-VR Training

The MIST-VR Laparoscopic Trainer uses virtual reality software to train the user in dexterity skills used in laparoscopic surgery. The program also times the user and records error rates. The MIST-VR Trainer has a handset for dexterity drills and users view a schematic drawing on a monitor while attempting the drills. The trainer then shows a view of an actual surgery demonstrating the skills that the user is practicing.

Laboratory sessions consist of:
