APPENDECTOMY MODEL

摘要

An appendectomy model for surgical training is provided. The model includes a simulated large intestine with a central lumen interconnected with a lumen of an artificial appendix. The model also includes a simulated appendiceal artery, simulated mesoappendix and a simulated ileum. The simulated ileum made of white silicone is embedded between a first layer of pink silicone and a second layer of pink silicone to create a realistic anatomical landmark particularly suitable for laparoscopic appendectomy training.

主权项

1. A simulated tissue structure for surgical training comprising:
a simulated large intestine having a tubular structure defining a central lumen extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end; a simulated appendix connected to the distal end of the simulated large intestine; a simulated teniae coli connected to and extending longitudinally along the simulated large intestine; at least one simulated artery having a middle portion between a proximal end and a distal end; the at least one simulated artery being connected to the simulated appendix; a pocket substantially enclosing the simulated appendix.
