Needles are deployed in tissue under direct ultrasonic or other imaging. To aid in deploying the needle, a visual needle guide is projected on to the image prior to needle deployment. Once the needle guide is properly aligned, the needle can be deployed. After needle deployment, a safety boundary and treatment region are projected on to the screen. After confirming that the safety boundary and treatment regions are sufficient, the patient can be treated using the needle.

Methods and systems for controlled deployment of needles in tissue

In one aspect a laparoscopic training device is disclosed. The laparoscopic training device includes a base that forms a working surface. The laparoscopic training device includes a plurality of walls surrounding the base and defining an interior volume. The interior volume simulates a gynecological surgery environment. A training feature is attached to at least one of the plurality of walls and base. The training feature includes at least one training element for simulating a laparoscopic surgery technique.

Laparoscopic training system

A system for simulating a hysteroscopy procedure is disclosed. The system includes a base station adapted to communicate with a computer having a display monitor. A training box is connected to the base station, and includes a housing having a chamber positioned therein. The chamber simulates the shape of a uterine cavity and includes an opening for receiving an instrument. The instrument is adapted for insertion into the chamber for performing hysteroscopy evaluation exercises including targeting and polyp removal exercises.
