McGill Inanimate System for Training and Evaluation of Laparoscopic Skills (MISTELS) is a physical laparoscopic simulator that is the basis for the manual skills component of Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons’ Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery program. It is an effective educational tool and provides metrics that are highly reliable and a valid measure of technical skills in laparoscopy.
