Problems solved by technology

However, according to information and philosophy, there are currently no anatomically correct animal tissue parts available that can be used to train surgeons, since no anatomically similar animal structures occur in nature

[0110] Example 1: Representative box

[0111] figure 1 , 2A -B, 3A-C, 4, 5 and 6 show various aspects of representative cassettes.

[0112] figure 1 is a photograph of a tissue block including a hole simulating a hernia. A ground wire is already in place which allows the tissue to be grounded, thus allowing the surgeon to practice electrocautery. Tissue blocks are applied to Figure 2A with 2B on the board shown.

[0113] Figure 2A is a photograph of the top side of a representative plate used in a complete cassette connected to a simulated ventral hernia. A tissue block is adhered to the top side of the plate. The screw heads are visible and correspond to the pins (in this embodiment the pins are attached to the plate via screws), as Figure 2B shown. Note that the blocks include additional holes that allow for the attachment of additional pins. These additional pins can correspond to holes in the abdomen of different mannequin types, thus allowing the box to be ...

Abstract

A surgeon training apparatus includes a cassette, which includes biological tissue repurposed into a form consistent with the anatomical configuration of abdominal hernias, affixed into an anatomically correct silicon framework which replicates the abdominal anatomy. The framework positions the cassette in an anatomically correct position within the abdominal cavity, enabling surgeons to train using a properly positioned representation of the target anatomy, thus requiring the surgeon to properly use surgical tools to correct the pathologic condition caused by the hernia. The cassette is formed by applying biologic tissue to a specially designed "plate," which affixes the tissue block into the anatomic framework, and is adapted for connection to a grounding device so the surgeon can use cautery during the simulated hernia repair. The cassette can be positioned inside a manikin, and can be used to train surgeons to repair human hernias using multiple techniques, including robot assistedand laparoscopic methods.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of surgery performed on surgical simulators rather than live humans or animals. The invention further relates to a simulated hernia model for use in a surgical simulator. Background technique [0002] A hernia is a bulge or protrusion of body tissue or organ through the structure that normally contains the body tissue or organ. One way to imagine a hernia is to imagine a barrel with holes in its sides, with a balloon inflated inside the barrel. The portion of the inflated balloon that bulges through the hole is like abdominal tissue bulging through a hernia. [0003] An abdominal hernia is a common hernia. An abdominal hernia is an opening or weakness in the muscular structure of the abdominal wall. The peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) bulges through this opening, and this defect causes a bulge of the abdominal wall. This bulge is usually more pronounced when the abdominal muscles are tight...
