Artificial organ model, method for producing same, and method for training surgical techniques using artificial organ model

Abstract

To provide an artificial tissue model that can be more advantageously used in surgical technique training, as well as a method of fabricating the same. The present invention provides an artificial organ model for surgical training, the model containing a naturally grown or cultivated mushroom. The mushroom forming the raw material is shaped, colored, and subjected to a softening treatment to fabricate an artificial organ that imitates or reproduces all or part of an organ to be modeled, such as the brain, the liver, the heart, a blood vessel, the neck, the chest, the abdomen, the arm, the thigh, a ureter, a nerve, a lymphatic vessel, the intestinal tract, or the like.
