The object of the present invention is a surgical simulator (1 ) for training and preoperative planning of a surgical operation, such as aneurysm clipping and/or endovascular treatment, comprising: - a support (4) comprising a support body (5) externally delimited by a support external surface (6) having a paradigmatic shape of a body portion of a patient, such as a paradigmatic shape of a skull, so that the support (4) is clampable on the support external surface (6) to simulate a positioning phase of preoperative planning, wherein the support (4) delimits at least a cavity (7, 9) in the support body (6) and a respective cavity aperture (8, 10) on the support external surface (6) for accessing to the respective cavity (7, 9); - at least an anatomical simulator (2, 2', 3, 3') that is supported by the support (4), wherein a first anatomical simulator (2, 2',) of the at least an anatomical simulator (2, 2', 3, 3') is removably housed into a first cavity (7) of the at least a cavity (7,9), wherein each anatomical simulator (2, 2', 3, 3') comprises at least a respective vascular phantom (11) and a respective container (12) configured to support the vascular phantom (11 ), wherein the vascular phantom (11 ) of each anatomical simulator (2, 2', 3, 3') comprises a vascular wall (13) delimiting an hollow structure, the vascular wall (13) being 3D printed in order to replicate a patient-specific vascular structure or a modelled vascular structure.

Abstract

The object of the present invention is a surgical simulator (1 ) for training and preoperative planning of a surgical operation, such as aneurysm clipping and/or endovascular treatment, comprising: - a support (4) comprising a support body (5) externally delimited by a support external surface (6) having a paradigmatic shape of a body portion of a patient, such as a paradigmatic shape of a skull, so that the support (4) is clampable on the support external surface (6) to simulate a positioning phase of preoperative planning, wherein the support (4) delimits at least a cavity (7, 9) in the support body (6) and a respective cavity aperture (8, 10) on the support external surface (6) for accessing to the respective cavity (7, 9); - at least an anatomical simulator (2, 2', 3, 3') that is supported by the support (4), wherein a first anatomical simulator (2, 2',) of the at least an anatomical simulator (2, 2', 3, 3') is removably housed into a first cavity (7) of the at least a cavity (7,9), wherein each anatomical simulator (2, 2', 3, 3') comprises at least a respective vascular phantom (11) and a respective container (12) configured to support the vascular phantom (11 ), wherein the vascular phantom (11 ) of each anatomical simulator (2, 2', 3, 3') comprises a vascular wall (13) delimiting an hollow structure, the vascular wall (13) being 3D printed in order to replicate a patient-specific vascular structure or a modelled vascular structure.
