An appendectomy model for surgical training is provided. The model includes a simulated large intestine with a central lumen interconnected with a lumen of an artificial appendix. The model also includes a simulated appendiceal artery, simulated mesoappendix and a simulated ileum. The simulated ileum made of white silicone is embedded between a first layer of pink silicone and a second layer of pink silicone to create a realistic anatomical landmark particularly suitable for laparoscopic appendectomy training.
