Abstrakt: To demonstrate the possibility of laparoscopic technique training and refinement at the millimetric level. A physical trainer and Winstar rats were used. The training system is visually similar to pneumoperitoneum. The laparoscopic technique is perfected in a visual space illuminated by white light, with two-dimensional feedback and at a geometric level that allows for refinement of the technique. It is possible to refine the technique at this geometric level at a low cost and without requiring laparoscopic equipment. In addition, optics tests indicate the possibility in the short term of refining the laparoscopic technique to the microanastomotic level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
