Resumo
Purpose:To describe a guide for the construction of a laparoscopic training simulator.Methods:Step-by-step description of an inexpensive and easy to assemble homemade laparoscopic training box, capable of simulating the laparoscopic environment in its peculiarities to enable technical skills training.Results:The total cost of the materials for the construction of the simulator was US$ 75.00 (about R$ 250.00 reais) and it can be reduced to US$ 60.00 if the builder judges that there is no need for internal lighting. The use of real trocars imposes the same challenges as real surgeries regarding positioning, visibility and limitation of movements.Conclusion:The proposed economical and efficient alternative can contribute to the teaching and practice of laparoscopic surgical technique worldwide, benefiting surgeons and patients.(AU)
