Abstract: A surgical simulation camera scope is provided. The surgical simulation camera scope comprises a lens mount with a lens and a sensor mount with an image sensor disposed between the sensor mount and the lens mount. The arrangement of the lens mount and the sensor mount ensures that the location of the sensor is maintained within the depth of focus of the lens while not damaging the sensor.

Abstract: A surgical simulator for surgical training is provided. The simulator includes a frame defining an enclosure and a simulated tissue model located inside the enclosure. The simulated tissue model is adapted for practicing a number of surgical procedures including but not limited to transanal excisions and transvaginal hysterectomies. The simulated tissue model includes one more components and is interchangeably connected to the frame with fasteners configured to pass through apertures in the frame to suspend the simulated tissue model within the frame. The enclosure of the frame is increasingly laterally constricted along the longitudinal axis to progressively increase the confinement of the components of the simulated tissue model.

Abstract: A sensorized surgical instrument for training users laparoscopic surgical procedures is provided. The instrument includes at least one sensor selected from a group consisting of a strain gauge, accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope. The sensor is attached directly to a handle of the instrument. A shaft assembly having a tool tip is interchangeably connectable to the handle. The sensor is connected to a computer configured to provide feedback useful to the user for improving the user's surgical skills. The feedback includes the time to complete a procedure, economy of motion, smoothness of motion and the force exerted at the tool tip.

Abstract: A surgical simulation camera scope is provided as effective as a surgical scope without the added expense and complexities. The surgical simulation camera scope comprises a lens mount with a lens and a sensor mount with an image sensor disposed between the sensor mount and the lens mount and placed in such a way to ensure the location of the sensor is within the depth of focus of the lens is maintained while not damaging the sensor.
