Simbionix Laparoscopic Incisional Hernia Repair module is the first time surgeons can train to perform a Hernia Repair procedure in a safe, controlled, real-life simulated environment, rather than on animals or even patients.
The module is designed to train surgeons with the necessary skills required to perform laparoscopic hernia repairs procedures, including adhesiolysis and handling and fixating intraperitoneal prosthetic mesh in a choice of shapes and sizes.

A Variety of Hernia Repair Procedures in Real-life Scenarios
Surgeons perform simulated surgical procedures to treat a variety of hernia pathologies such as umbilical, periumbilical and epigastrium hernia. This virtual experience provides clinicians with an essential tool for practicing on realistic environment, using actual tools and choosing from a selection of mesh types and sizes.
Additionally, the module provides a complete virtual environment of the external maneuvers required to learn and assess  the principles of port placement, followed by the insertion and operation of the suture passer, that are unique to the incisional hernia repair procedure.
The module features tools to measure skills assessment and training success.  During the training session, all data is recorded and presented in a file. Important procedure information such as choice of mesh handling, safe dissection and complication management are measured during the session in order to assess skill levels.
