Patent

CA 2663077

The disclosed invention contemplates a device and method related to training medical personnel (i.e., for example, surgeons) to perform endooscopic procedures. The disclosed technology solves two problems currently present in the art of using surgical simulators. The first improvement provides a dynamic training program, rather than a program that is the same for every training run. In one embodiment, the device provides a target array that can change position in three dimensions during the training session. In one embodiment, the target array can also change position at various velocities. Consequently, the present invention provides improved discrimination between evaluating innate skill of hand-eye coordination versus surgical skill.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé permettant de former du personnel médical (des chirurgiens, par exemple) à des procédures endoscopiques. La technique selon l'invention permet de résoudre deux problèmes généralement liés à l'utilisation de simulateurs chirurgicaux. La première amélioration consiste en un programme de formation dynamique venant remplacer un programme identique pour toutes les sessions de formation. Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif selon l'invention fournit une matrice cible pouvant changer de position dans les trois dimensions pendant une séance de formation. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, cette matrice cible peut également changer de position à des vitesses différentes. La présente invention permet donc de mieux évaluer les compétences des internes en établissant une meilleure distinction entre leurs capacités de coordination oculo-manuelle et leurs compétences chirurgicales.
