GARCIA GALISTEO, E.; DEL ROSAL SAMANIEGO, J.M.; BAENA GONZALEZ, V.  and  SANTOS GARCIA BAQUERO, A.. Laparoscopic surgery training in pelvitrainer and virtual simulators. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2006, vol.30, n.5, pp.451-456. ISSN 0210-4806.

Over the last few decades, there has been a rise in the number of minimally invasive techniques, such as arthroscopy, vascular radiology and our speciality, laparoscopy. Laparoscopy has resulted in a reduction in the damage caused during intervention, with the subsequent reduction in hospital stay, postoperative pain and infections. However, one disadvantage of these techniques is that they require a large investment in instruments and a long and costly training period. In the following chapter, we describe the laparoscopic training process of the medical residents from our Urology Service in the pelvitrainer and virtual simulator.
