Operating Theatre

The simulated operating theatre consists of several specialised rooms designed to provide a training infrastructure that closely replicates a real hospital environment.

It includes changing rooms, a classroom for theoretical lectures or pre- and post-simulation discussions, and three skills training rooms where the following techniques can be practised and enhanced:

• Surgical skills using a variety of simulators
• Microsurgery skills using an ophthalmic microscope
• Laparoscopic skills using both trainers (LapBox) and virtual reality simulators (LapSim, LapMentor)
• Arthroscopy skills using a simulator (VirtaMed ArthroS)

An additional operating theatre unit comprises a pre-surgery room, an operating theatre, and a post-operative recovery room. These rooms are equipped with medical devices, instruments, and materials consistent with a clinical hospital setting. The operating theatre features SIMStation system cameras that provide audio and video transmission to the debriefing room, as well as a separate instructor room for managing and coordinating simulations.
