Abdominal model for laparoscopic abdominal wall repair/reconstruction simulation
First Claim
1. A physical abdominal surgical simulation system comprising:
- an abdominal model mimicking a patient specific abdomen, the abdominal model including;
an abdominal wall model insert forming a frame of the abdominal model, the abdominal wall model insert including a ribcage member, a pelvis member, and a lateral abdominal wall member;
an abdominal wall member having biomechanical properties mimicking the biomechanical response of the patient specific abdomen, the abdominal wall member secured to the abdominal wall model insert;
a back member secured to the abdominal wall model insert in opposed relation with respect to the abdominal wall member; and
an abdominal model cavity defined within abdominal wall model insert, the abdominal wall member, and the back member; and
an image acquisition and analysis system including a plurality of cameras configured to capture images of the abdominal model cavity.

Abstract
A physical abdominal surgical simulation system including an abdominal model mimicking the biomechanical properties and response of a patient specific abdomen and an image acquisition and analysis system. The abdominal model includes an abdominal wall model insert forming a frame of the abdominal model, an abdominal wall member secured to the abdominal wall model insert, a back member secured to the abdominal wall model insert in opposed relation with respect to the abdominal wall member, and an abdominal model cavity defined within abdominal wall model insert, the abdominal wall member, and the back member. The image acquisition and analysis system includes a plurality of cameras configured to capture images of the abdominal model cavity.

19. A method of simulating a laparoscopic surgical procedure in a physical abdominal model mimicking an abdomen of a patient, the method comprising:
-
insufflating an abdominal wall member of an abdominal model to a first inflated state, the abdominal wall model including a ribcage member, a pelvis member, and a lateral abdominal wall member; securing at least one surgical implant to an inner surface of the abdominal wall member of the abdominal model; capturing a first set of images of the at least one surgical implant in the first inflated state; deflating the abdominal wall member of the abdominal model to a deflated state; and capturing a first set of images of the at least one surgical implant in the deflated state. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An abdominal model mimicking a patient specific abdomen, the abdominal model comprising:
-
an abdominal wall model insert forming a frame of the abdominal model, the abdominal wall model insert including a ribcage member, a pelvis member, and a lateral abdominal wall member; an abdominal wall member made from an expandable material and having biomechanical properties mimicking the patient specific abdomen, the abdominal wall member secured to the abdominal wall model insert; a back member secured to the abdominal wall model insert in opposed relation with respect to the abdominal wall member; and an abdominal model cavity defined within abdominal wall model insert, the abdominal wall member, and the back member. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
