Objectives
The LAHYSTOTRAIN project developed an advanced training system for laparoscopic/hysteroscopic procedures combining virtual reality (VR), multimedia and intelligent tutoring techniques. Traditional surgical training of minimally invasive surgery often follows the learning by doing rule, which sometimes proves to be insufficient. Training models available today provide only an abstract picture of the operation situation and usually fall short of reality. Specific training is necessary to guarantee qualification of the surgeons. The goal of this project is to overcome the current drawbacks of traditional training methods by developing a computer-assisted simulator for training and for quality control in laparoscopy and hysteroscopy using computer graphics, VR, multimedia and intelligent tutoring technology
