Abstract

Introduction Limited access to equipment and trained personnel restrict the adoption of laparoscopic surgery globally. There are a wide range of laparoscopic trainers available; however, most of these are not affordable. We propose an ultra-low-cost laparoscopic trainer (Lap-Pack), designed for portability, ease of assembly and compatibility with smart devices. The study aims to evaluate the usability of Lap-Pack as a training tool in low- and high-income settings. Method An international usability study was conducted in India and the UK in 2019. The participants (n=60), consisting of senior surgeons (n=18), junior trainees (n=20) and medical students (n=22), were asked to complete two tasks using Lap-Pack. Participants then scored Lap-Pack in a 25-point questionnaire, including a pre-established Face-Validity Criteria and four major evaluation categories – Usability, Camera, View, Material. Result Lap-Pack scored highly in Face-Validity with a combined mean score of 4.63 (95 4.31, 4.95, p
