Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a comprehensive course on a smartphone. It will prove useful both for a first encounter with laparoscopy and for those who have already been exposed to this surgical technique.

We have created the theoretical part of Laparoscopy using the training courses of recognized societies: FLS and E-BLUS, in cooperation with experienced laparoscopists. The teaching materials are enriched with recordings from real operations, which will allow you to see what the procedures look like in practice!

The course also includes exercises to help you learn how to use the instruments efficiently. You can practice by playing tic-tac-toe, pulling string through hoops, placing discs on prepared posts, and putting balls into containers. In spite of what it seems, it's not as simple as it appears, but it's certainly addictive…

Essential theoretical knowledge, quizzes with review questions and exercises will get you comfortable with laparoscopy. Do you need anything else?

Find answers to your questions

Do I have to buy the whole kit to use the course?

Yes. Laparoscopy is complete only with our trainer. The greatest value of the course is the exercises using physical products and image analysis.

Can I use the trainer when my access to the course expires?

Yes. While the full Medu experience is only possible with full access to Laparoscopy, we won't leave you alone. When your course expires, you will get access to a special simplified practice mode that will allow you to work with the trainer. Note that image analysis will not be available in this mode.

Can I share the trainer with friends?

Yes. The trainer isn’t assigned to your account, so you can share one physical product. Remember that each of you has to purchase your own access to the course to independently gain knowledge and track progress.

What if I lose/destroy a piece of kit?

Contact us! We are aware that cardboard is susceptible to damage, small pieces can get lost and intensive exercise may lead to the destruction of some parts. Let us know at contact@joinmedu.com - we will surely help you.

Does the course include laparoscopic suturing?

No. The price of the Medu’s trainer is determined by the value of the instruments. You would need scissors and a needle holder to learn laparoscopic suturing, making the whole thing high-priced. Wanting to keep the best value for money, we decided that laparoscopic suturing is expensive and difficult enough to require a separate course. We are working on it!

How do I assemble the Medu laparoscopic trainer?

In the course, we have included a lesson that covers in detail the elements that the trainer consists of. During it, you will learn how to assemble your trainer. The only thing you will need is a screwdriver!

Is the trainer a one-time purchase?

Yes, we sell our physical products to the user for ownership.

Can I be sure that Medu content is content-wise correct?

All content has been consulted by medical specialists in a given field and created with their participation. Thus we can guarantee our courses are not only substantively correct, but also in line with clinical practice.
