TME Physical Simulation Model

Design of a physical simulation model for laparoscopic and robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery.

Keyhole or laparoscopic surgery is an important method to improve outcomes for patients in the treatment of bowel cancer it is also extremely difficult to learn. Currently there are no training models available to trainee bowel surgeons and they learn the procedure “on the job” on real patients under supervision. This research, led by Mr Danilo Miskovic, aims to produce a physical model prototype for use in training using artificial materials.

The model will be designed by experienced surgeons and engineers and will be based on 3D MRI images from patients with rectal cancer. Silicon and hydrogels will be used to simulate anatomical tissue properties and together, these elements will create a realistic model. In this study a limited number of models, of both genders, will be produced and tested on experienced and trainee surgeons at Leeds Teaching Hospitals. This will test the feasibility of the model and be the potential basis for future projects. Implementation of these models could directly improve surgical skill and therefore the patient’s chances of surviving bowel cancer.
