Laparoscopic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery done by sticking a camera inside the abdomen through a small incision, along with two handles [http://iahcsmm.org/Recertification/LessonPlans/images/CIS210...] which can be equipped with various tools in order to perform the surgery.

Surgeons train for laparoscopic surgery by performing exercises on haptic feedback enabled machines, which is quite similar to the experience of playing a video game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSSpz3S01tQ.
