ArticleBased on simulation models the surgeons can train technical skills and improve their
functional status of musculoskeletal state. Work in good ergonomic position could reduce and
prevent musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of this review is to carry out critical analysis of
research on simulation techniques analysing the effectiveness of simulators on technical skills
among the surgeons. The search of the articles based on the databases EBSCO, Science Direct
and Web of Science. The articles published in 2011–2016 years and not the literature reviews of
simulator models in surgery were the selection criteria. Most often the simulator models have
used for training of laparoscopic operations, choosing new instruments or introducing new
methodologies. Some articles have paid more attention to ergonomic equipment layout in practice
to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. It is important to use simulators in the university hospitals,
where the young surgeons and medical students are practicing
