ABDOMINAL MODEL FOR LAPAROSCOPIC ABDOMINAL WALL REPAIR/RECONSTRUCTION SIMULATION

摘要

A physical abdominal surgical simulation system including an abdominal model mimicking the biomechanical properties and response of a patient specific abdomen and an image acquisition and analysis system. The abdominal model includes an abdominal wall model insert forming a frame of the abdominal model, an abdominal wall member secured to the abdominal wall model insert, a back member secured to the abdominal wall model insert in opposed relation with respect to the abdominal wall member, and an abdominal model cavity defined within abdominal wall model insert, the abdominal wall member, and the back member. The image acquisition and analysis system includes a plurality of cameras configured to capture images of the abdominal model cavity.
