In the constantly evolving field of minimally invasive surgery, practical, hands-on training is essential for surgeons to achieve mastery and provide optimal patient outcomes. One of the most exciting advancements in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery is Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES). This innovative technique allows for surgery to be performed through natural orifices, eliminating the need for external incisions, reducing recovery time, and enhancing patient comfort. However, as a novel procedure, it demands specialized training—precisely where the LapEz vNOTES endotrainer excels.
Developed in collaboration with renowned vNOTES experts, the LapEz vNOTES endotrainer offers a highly realistic and adaptable platform for mastering this technique. Its near real synthetic uterine model enables surgeons to refine delicate maneuvers, such as pedicle dissection, while building precision and confidence. Combining laparoscopy and vNOTES simulation, the LapEz system provides a practical, cost-effective solution to advance surgical training and improve outcomes.
vNOTES is a novel technique with demonstrated clinical benefits, yet its adoption is hindered by the lack of adequate training tools. Existing solutions fall short in providing the realism and adaptability necessary for surgeons to effectively develop the skills required for this advanced procedure.
The LapEz vNOTES endotrainer addresses the training gap by offering a realistic vaginal perineum, anatomical landmarks, and insufflation capabilities. This advanced vNOTES simulator provides a lifelike platform for mastering vNOTES procedures with precision and confidence.
GEM (Gargi’s Engineered Model) is a synthetic engineered tissue model designed to closely mimic human tissue for surgical simulation. Through a proprietary polymerization process, GEM acquires properties similar to actual human tissue.
