Surgical simulation systems and methods with selective perfusion

Abstract

Systems and methods for selectively perfusing cadaverous organ systems for surgical simulation are provided. A first fluid reservoir contains a first perfusion fluid and fluidically connects to conduit, which fluidically connects to a first body part associated with the organ system. A pump fluidically connects to the first reservoir and conduit and directs the first perfusion fluid into the first body part. A second fluid reservoir contains a second perfusion fluid and fluidically connects to conduit, which fluidically connects to a second body part associated with the organ system. In aspects, the second fluid reservoir is positioned at higher elevation than the organ system to create passive feed pressure of the second perfusion fluid to the second body part. The systems may include drainage mechanisms from the organ system. Aspects include selective perfusion of the liver, thorax, head and neck, and/or extremities of a cadaver.
