Abstrakt: Since 1990, almost 3000 surgeons have absolved the training course for minimally invasive surgery in our training center. A phantom trainer using animal organs has been used as a training device. Based on this experience, we have developed an innovative trainer for surgical procedures using animal organs. The form of this trainer was copied from a human body with gas insufflation; abdominal organs from the slaughterhouse can be integrated into this trainer. Surgeons can repeat operations such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, fundoplication, colon resection and transanal endoscopic microsurgery in a realistic way and acquire a training effect in a short time.
