The invention relates to a laparoscopic surgical simulator which is intended to reproduce accurately the real conditions facing a surgeon during this type of operation so that the surgeon can practice different techniques and develop precise skills. The invention essentially comprises: a physical model (1) of the patient, on which the kit of instruments (2) and a camera (4) are positioned; a monitor (5) displaying the simulation of the operation; a hinged operating table (6), the movement of which can be transmitted to the images of the patient's internal organs; a control unit (9) for controlling all of the parameters of the system; and connected peripherals for introducing data into the system.
