Abstract
The use of simulation in laparoscopic surgery training appears to be qualitatively effective if supported by a suitable evaluation system.The increasing demand of more complex laparo-scopic simulators has inspired the creation of a 4d simulator which is a physical low-cost laparoscop-ic training platform that reproduces the tactile feedback: eLaparo4d) integrated with a software for virtual anatomical realistic scenarios (Unity3D V 4.1).The aim of the present project is to show the plat-form validation results using two instruments: the face validity and the construct validity.The results have been obtained by a 12 items standardized questionnaire focused on the â??user's satisfactionâ?? submitted to two 15 users groups . 4 basic skill have been chosen to be analyzed: lap-aroscopic focusing and navigation (2 different ex-ercises), Hand â?? eye â?? coordination (HEC) (2 dif-ferent exercises).
