Abstract
  The aim of this study was to develop a useful training device for training of laparoscopic skills required for total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). This training device was created based on the following measurements: the distance from the fulcrum to the site of surgery, including uterine vessels, vaginal stump, and pelvic peritoneum and the angle of forceps in patients who underwent TLH between November 2008 and May 2010. This training device enabled training of laparoscopic ligation of uterine vessels, suturing the vaginal stump, as well as the pelvic peritoneum. Illumination was unnecessary; this training device was easy to carry because it weighed only 800 g.
