New simulator enhances laparoscopic right hemicolectomy training

A groundbreaking training simulator, COLOMASTER, has been developed for laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. This innovative device eschews animal tissue, utilizing dry polyester fibers and hydrogel to emulate human anatomy and facilitate realistic surgical techniques. Surgeons can practice complete mesocolic excision, central vascular ligation, and intracorporeal anastomosis, critical skills for improving patient outcomes. With its focus on accuracy and efficiency, COLOMASTER aims to enhance off-the-job surgical training, marking a significant advancement in surgical education.
