Class Description

This hands-on course introduces students to the fundamentals of laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery, the modern techniques used to perform operations through very small incisions.

Great for students interested in medicine or pre-med — this hands-on surgery class provides unique experience that can strengthen a college or pre-med application.

Students develop the dexterity, coordination, and spatial awareness required to operate surgical instruments using a video-guided system, similar to the technology used in real operating rooms.

Simulated procedures include:
- Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)
- Gallbladder drainage (cholecystostomy)
- Appendectomy
- Bowel repair

Students then advance to more complex procedures such as:
- Hiatal hernia repair
- Fundoplication
- Heller myotomy

Training emphasizes fine motor control, teamwork, and problem-solving in a high-focus surgical environment. Students who are comfortable with video games often adapt quickly to the hand-eye coordination required for minimally invasive surgery.

Students will gain:
- Experience using minimally invasive surgical tools
- Improved hand-eye coordination and precision
- Understanding of laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures
- Insight into modern surgical technology

This immersive course provides valuable early exposure to one of the fastest-growing areas of medicine.
