With the growing prominence of robotic surgery, there is an increasing demand for specialized training in this field. However, access to robotic surgery simulators in Australia remains limited. LEGO, a common childhood toy, is a widely accessible and versatile tool, and has gained attention for its potential in developing low-cost, customizable, and interactive educational models. This presents an opportunity to integrate LEGO into surgical education, offering the development of an affordable robotic surgical training model with broad accessibility. In 2019, a Polish biomedical engineering team developed a LEGO robotic surgical arm that replicated the basic functions of robotic surgical arms. This included movements such as arm lowering, raising, rotation and gripping. Benefits of this LEGO based model included easy manipulation, modification and troubleshooting of the model given the modular nature of LEGO. This enables users to gain valuable experience without the financial and logistical constraints of traditional simulators. The main difficulties associated with this model include the lack of rigidity to the structure, requiring multiple modifications to maintain its integrity. Additionally, there are limitations in the range of movements it can perform. Despite these challenges, LEGO models present a cost-effective and accessible platform for surgical education. Beyond affordability, these models foster the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills—essential competencies for aspiring surgeons.
