The training module reproduces or has anatomical structures and is capable of holding at least one consumable medium. The base module supplies energy to the training module. The training module and the base module are connected to one another via a combination interface. The base module and the training module include conveying means connected via the combination interface. At least one consumable medium can be conveyed into the anatomical structures by the conveying means. The base module includes a sensor module that measures at least one physical variable. The sensor module and the training module include measurement means connected via the combination interface. The measurement means in the training module includes at least one air-filled connection means. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A modular surgical training system for training surgical interventions, comprising a training module reproducing or having anatomical structures and capable of holding at least one consumable medium; and a base module, supplying energy to the training module, the training module and the base module being connected to one another via a combination interface; wherein the base module and the training module comprise conveying means connected via the combination interface, and at least one consumable medium can be conveyed into the anatomical structures by the conveying means, wherein the base module comprises a sensor module that measures at least one physical variable, wherein the sensor module and the training module comprise measurement means connected via the combination interface, and wherein the measurement means in the training module comprise at least one air-filled connection means. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The modular surgical training system according to claim 1, wherein at least two consumable media can be held by the training module, wherein a first consumable medium can be conveyed through at least one exit site of the anatomical structure, and via the second consumable media, an internal pressure of at least one section of the anatomical structures can be reproduced. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The modular surgical training system according to claim 1, wherein the base module and the training module comprise control means connected via the combination interface and can control at least one volume flow. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The modular surgical training system according to claim 3, wherein at least one volume flow of the at least one consumable medium can be controlled by the control means. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The modular surgical training system according to claim 3, wherein the control means in the base module comprise at least one constriction hose valve actuator. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The modular surgical training system according to claim 3, wherein the control means in the training module comprise at least one self-blocking and/or self-opening constriction hose valve. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The modular surgical training system according to claim 1, wherein a first end of the connection means is connected to an ultrasound transmitter and a second end of the connection means is connected to an ultrasound receiver. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The modular surgical training system according to claim 1, wherein the connection means is arranged on or in the anatomical structures, wherein the anatomical structures and the connection means interact with one another, and a deformation of the anatomical structure can be measured by a traction and/or a compression of the connection means. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The modular surgical training system according to claim 1, wherein the base module comprises a controller module which processes electric signals and can be connected to a user interface for the operation of the training system. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The modular surgical training system according to claim 1, wherein the conveying means in the base module comprise at least one air compressor generating pneumatic energy in the form of pressurized air. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The modular surgical training system according to claim 1, wherein the conveying means in the training module comprise at least one pressurized volume holding pressurized air and at least one consumable media volume separated on a media side from the at least one pressurized volume and holding a consumable medium, wherein the at least one pressurized volume and the consumable media volume interact with one another, so that at least one consumable medium can be conveyed into the anatomical structures and/or a pressure can be generated in the anatomical structure. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The modular surgical training system according to claim 1, wherein the training module and the training module are detachably connected to one another via the combination interface. ### Claim 13 A modular surgical training system for training surgical interventions, comprising a regenerable training module reproducing or having anatomical structures and capable of holding at least one consumable medium; a reusable base module, supplying energy to the training module, the training module and the base module being detachably connected to one another via a combination interface; and wherein pneumatic and/or mechanical and/or electric energy can be transmitted from the base module to the training module and/or electric signals can be transmitted between the base module and the training module via the combination interface, wherein the base module and the training module comprise conveying means detachably connected via the combination interface, and at least one consumable medium can be conveyed into the anatomical structures by the conveying means, wherein the base module comprises a sensor module that measures at least one physical variable, wherein the sensor module and the training module comprise measurement means detachably connected via the combination interface, and wherein the measurement means in the training module comprise at least one air-filled connection means. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The modular surgical training system according to claim 13, wherein at least two consumable media can be held by the training module, wherein a first consumable medium can be conveyed through at least one exit site of the anatomical structure, and via the second consumable media, an internal pressure of at least one section of the anatomical structures can be reproduced. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The modular surgical training system according to claim 13, wherein the base module and the training module comprise control means detachably connected via the combination interface and can control at least one volume flow. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The modular surgical training system according to claim 15, wherein at least one volume flow of the at least one consumable medium can be controlled by the control means. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The modular surgical training system according to claim 15, wherein the control means in the base module comprise at least one constriction hose valve actuator. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The modular surgical training system according to claim 15, wherein the control means in the training module comprise at least one self-blocking and/or self-opening constriction hose valve. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The modular surgical training system according to claim 13, wherein a first end of the connection means is connected to an ultrasound transmitter and a second end of the connection means is connected to an ultrasound receiver. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The modular surgical training system according to claim 13, wherein the connection means is arranged on or in the anatomical structures, wherein the anatomical structures and the connection means interact with one another, and a deformation of the anatomical structure can be measured by a traction and/or a compression of the connection means.
