The technology

A hybrid of real model and haptics

LaparoS combines a physical abdominal model with haptic and VR anatomy — for a realistic sense of tissue and space.

The Critical View of Safety module in cholecystectomy builds safe habits before the operating room.

What you train

0101

Essential skills

Coordination, suturing, clipping.

0202

Cholecystectomy

Critical View of Safety.

0303

Appendectomy

Step-by-step procedure.

0404

Ventral hernia

Mesh repair.

0505

Hysterectomy

Gynaecological resection.

0606

Gynae set

Tubal sterilization, ovarian cystectomy, salpingectomy, endometriosis.

Modules in detail

Seven modules — from fundamentals to complex reconstructions.

01

Essential Skills

Psychomotor laparoscopy fundamentals in an abstract environment — with the objectivity of VR.

02

General Surgery

Diagnostic and therapeutic cases focused on concrete skills (cholecystectomy with Critical View of Safety, appendectomy, ventral hernia).

03

Colorectal Surgery

Realistic colorectal surgery scenarios.

04

Suturing

Step-by-step training for safe needle handling and suture technique.

05

Advanced Suturing

Developed with leading surgeons; refines advanced suturing (vascular, complex reconstructions).

06

Gynecological Laparoscopy

Diagnostic and operative cases (hysterectomy, tubal sterilisation, ovarian cystectomy, salpingectomy, endometriosis).

07

Hysteroscopy Add-on (GynoS)

Extends the platform to combined OB/GYN training.

Progression: Essential Skills → Deconstructed Tasks → Variations → Adverse Events.

Proficiency-based curriculum

Four competency stages, not time served.

01

Basic skills

Core techniques — e.g. suturing and navigation.

02

Team training

Passing basic skills on to trainees.

03

Common procedures

E.g. cholecystectomy.

04

Complex procedures

E.g. colorectal surgery → graduation goal.
