Abstract

See full text

A videoendoscopic surgery training system (10) provides training in videoendoscopic surgery techniques. A base (14) supports a simulated anatomical structure (12). A shield (20) blocks a trainee's direct line-of-sight view of the simulated anatomical structure. A reflector assembly (24, 34) reflects an image of the simulated anatomical structure past the shield. A first mirror (24) reflects an image of the simulated anatomical structure that is oriented away from the trainee. A second mirror (34) optically communicates with the first mirror to reflect an image of the simulated anatomical structure that is oriented toward the trainee.
