| description | The paper presents the technological components, hardware implementation and software solution of a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) training platform. The platform includes basic tasks for familiarizing students and surgeons with MIS. The operator training environment simulates the behavior of the operator's hands and surgical instruments, providing feedback and 3D-visualization. Research on elements of various existing platforms was conducted and described in this paper. The platform uses a virtual environment with abstract tasks. This allows for reducing training costs, providing different levels of difficulty and focusing on the skills to be acquired. Thus, through the development of this training platform, the researchers aim to improve practice-based education in minimally invasive surgery. The results from this scientific work are suitable for surgical education e.g. the acquisition of basic skills by students in the transition from MIS to work with the robotic system for surgeons. In this regard, the assessment of students’ success with the platform is an important factor in the learning process that is, in general, evaluated using two approaches described in the paper. Future work will include the development of a methodology for conducting simulation activities with the system and evaluation criteria. |
