ProMIS™ LapAppendectomy

The ProMIS™ LapAppendectomy Module uses the best of virtual reality and physical reality to produce a unique

approach to learning.

This ‘mixed’ (or ‘augmented’) reality approach, enables users to learn using real instruments on both virtual and physical

models—and get metrics on their performance.

The first mixed reality Module for surgical training.

With some steps done in VR and some on a physical model, ProMIS

LapAppendectomy provides the most surgically relevant and instructionally

valid learning experience.

About ProMIS™

The ProMIS Surgical Simulator is the best validated surgical simulator: it’s metrics and learning approach have performed consistently better than ‘pure’ VR and ProMIS metrics predict

performance on the ACS/SAGES FLS program.

ProMIS has unique facilities for integrating and developing local curriculum: the ProMIS Open Module and ContentCreationTool enable any surgical task to be integrated into the ProMIS curriculum—with associated user

records and metrics.

ProMIS Modules range from Basic Laparoscopic Skills to

procedures such as LapAppendectomy and LapColectomy.

ProMIS meets the ACS & ACGME RRC requirements for

simulation.

Users start by selecting the appropriate (real) instruments and port positions and then perform a full Appendectomy,

including:

• Investigating and locating the Appendix;

• Freeing up the appendix and cutting through adhesions;

• Dissecting the mesoappendix using diathermy

• Applying endoloops or clips;

• Dissecting and removing the appendix.
