Wide introduction of videoendosurgical technologies in all surgical specialties has become a challenge for teachers of medical universities. According to many authors, the use of virtual simulators proved to be unjustified, which compelled us to conduct a study to determine the place of virtual endosurgical simulators in the training program of a specialist of surgical profile. The experiment involved 36 clinical residents who took the training simulation course (108 hours) in the training virtual clinic (simulation training center) of VSMU N. N. Burdenko during 2016-2017. Students were divided into two groups. In the first group, classes were held on the Gross-SMITH simulators, equipped with simulators of laparoscopes ending with cameras with options axis angle 0 and 30 degrees. In the second group, classes were held on a virtual simulator with tactile backlink LapVR. At the end of the course, each resident was asked to do control exercise – to stitch pig's stomach, which had a wound with two markings indicating where to lead the needle. Videoendosurgical simulator Gross-SMITH was used to perform a control exercise. The results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of the use of virtual endosurgical simulators with tactile backlink in the formation of the basic skills of videoendoscopic surgery. The formation of the skill of tying an intracorporal knot proved to be more effective in training with the use of videoendosurgical simulators Gross-SMITH and real surgical instruments.
