La cirugía videotoracoscópica (VTC) y la videoasistida (VAST) requieren de una infraestructura técnica y un adiestramiento práctico muy específico. Se presenta un modelo experimental que consiste en un simulador torácico de poliéster, de medidas similares a las de un adulto, compartimentalizado en tres cavidades que permiten alojar un bloque cardiopulmonar en fresco de cerdo de un peso aproximado de 100kg. En el lado derecho se han realizado 8 toracóstomos y en el izquierdo seis; además, en este último se ha dispuesto una ventana de 4x3cm que reproduce una minitoracotomía. Con este diseño quedan reproducidas las dificultades que la caja torácica impone en las maniobras de disección endoscópica del pulmón y la textura pulmonar que ofrece el espécimen en fresco. Las 35 disecciones endoscópicas de pulmón evidencian que este modelo está adecuado a la realidad quirúrgica, es de bajo coste, es de gran sencillez en su manejo y tiene la ventaja de no necesitar un estabulario de grandes animales, características que lo hacen idóneo para el aprendizaje práctico de la disección endoscópica de pulmón.

Video-thoracoscopy (VT) and video assisted thoracic surgery (VAT) require practical skill in using specific technical infrastructure. We present an experimental model based on a polyester thoracic simulator made to a size similar to that of an adult thorax, divided into three cavities to allow placement of a fresh cardiopulmonary block from a pig weighing approximately 100kg. Fourteen thoracostomies have been performed, 8 on the right side and 6 on the left. On the left side we have also placed a 4x3cm window that simulated a minithoracotomy. This design reproduces the difficulties of maneuvering in the thoracic cage for endoscopic dissection of the lung, and offers the texture of a fresh lung specimen. The 35 endoscopic dissections of the lung performed demonstrate that this model approaches surgical reality, is inexpensive and easy to manage, and does not require keeping a stable of large animals, making it an ideal tool for learning the technique of endoscopic dissection of the lung.
