Abstract Aim To develop a Low-cost Laparoscopic Appendicectomy Simulation (LaApSi) Model and to assess its application for surgical simulation in UK & Lower Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). ensure realistic accurate representation of the anatomy appendix laparoscopic appendicectomy procedure. Method Autodesk Fusion 360 software was used design mould which 3D printed using Ultimaker Tough PL...
