Do YOU have what it takes to be a laparoscopic surgeon? 🩺

Guided by a narrow wand equipped with a camera and light called a laparoscope, this remarkable minimally invasive technique allows surgeons to take diagnostic images, stitch up tissue and even remove a whole appendix - all with less pain, fewer scars and shorter hospital stays for young patients🏥.
But the technique itself is incredibly challenging. This is because, unlike in traditional open surgery, surgeons performing laparoscopies can’t directly see where they’re operating. Instead, they must learn to carefully navigate sharp tools around a toonie-sized internal area entirely via video feed.🎥
That’s why pediatric surgeons from @cheohospital have joined up with Carleton Engineering researchers develop a cyber-physical simulator that uses machine learning to help surgeons-in-training quickly acquire and hone their laparoscopic skills.🔬
