GARCIA MURILLO, Javier; ARIAS CORREA, Mauricio  and  VALENCIA DIAZ, Édison. DISEÑO DE PROTOTIPO DE SIMULADOR PARA ENTRENAMIENTO EN CIRUGÍA LAPAROSCÓPICA. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2011, vol.5, n.9, pp.13-19. ISSN 1909-9762.

The ethical constraints imposed on the training in laparoscopic surgery in humans and animals have led to the increasingly common trend of using simulation devices. Commercially available simulators for laparoscopic surgery can be improved if tailored to the specific needs of professionals. The line of Biomechatronics Simulators of the biomedical engineering research group GIBEC, has developed several prototypes of simulation for laparoscopic surgery, which have evolved based on the recommendations from health professionals at the CES University. The results presented here demonstrate the group's progress in developing those devices.
