Popis: ABSTRACT Objectives: to describe the construction of a low-cost laparoscopy training simulator and evaluate its level of acceptance, impact on learning, and skill development in medical students. Methods: we built a video training simulator using low-cost materials. We then carried out a cross-sectional study, with the use of an applied questionnaire to medical students. Results: 51 medical students participated in the research, of whom 76.47% gained confidence in relation to laparoscopic surgery, 100% stated that the model successfully trained the skills of motor coordination and two-dimensional visual-spatial field, in addition to enabling a greater understanding of laparoscopy. All agreed that the simulator should be used before a real laparoscopic surgery scenario. Conclusion: the construction of the described laparoscopic surgery training simulator proved to be feasible and effective as an educational resource. It was well accepted by medical students, with easy handling, and promoted the development of motor and visual skills in video surgery.
