The apprenticeship model for learning complex surgical skills is no longer adequate. A simulator must be added to the surgical training curriculum in order for a surgeon to satisfactorily familiarize themselves with those advanced techniques. Surgical simulation in skills training offer a valuable opportunity to learn and practice advanced skills outside a real surgical operation environment prior to performing those skills on patients. We are introducing the newly developed laparoscopic trainer simulator (LS-600) to all the laparoscopic surgeons. The body of the LS-600 consists of 3 folding plates with 2 arms each; one arm has 3 artificial joints. The size of the bottom board of the plate is 300×250 mm. The accessory kits are artificial bowels, vessels and skin that are very similar to the real things. This simulator was manufactured with consideration to: the body shape of the trainers, the degree of difficulty for control and to resolving tedious repetitions. There are no light source nor a camera-monitor system in this simiulator, however, you can create perfect 2-dimensional images as one eye of the operator is covered with a band that can be attached to a camera. LS-600 is a relatively new type of training simulator, nonetheless, it presents tremendous potential for superior training of highly complex surgical skills, objective assessment of abilities and for utilizing it as a tool for certification of surgeons. The LS-600 is a cost-effective laparoscopic training simulator, which offers a simple and an effective means for laparoscopic practice for both the novice and the experienced laparoscopist.
