CLEVELAND, March 24, 2011 - Simbionix USA Corporation, the world's leading provider of
medical education and simulation technology, is happy to announce the release
of their new Laparoscopic Nephrectomy module for the LAP Mentor simulator.
Hands-on practice of this complex module will be available at the SAGES
Annual Meeting between March 30 - April 2, 2011, at Simbionix booth #240 and
in the Learning Center.
It has been estimated to take surgeons approximately 15
laparoscopic nephrectomy cases to become proficient with this procedure. The
nephrectomy complete procedure module is intended to provide an alternative
platform for shortening the learning curve involved with these procedures, in
a risk-free environment, before proceeding to the clinical setting. The
module has been designed to accommodate various procedure techniques,
allowing trainees to choose their preferred method of action.
"We are very excited to add the complex nephrectomy training
module to our LAP Mentor's ever-growing library of modules," said Mr. Ran
Bronstein, Simbionix President. "The true-to-life virtual reality simulation
of this highly advanced procedure is a breakthrough in simulation technology,
providing an environment abundant in anatomy layers which interact smoothly
with one another to simulate one continuous procedure. Simbionix continuously
overcomes technological challenges to provide the best training tools for the
medical community."
