1. A surgical simulator for surgical training comprising:
a frame configured to simulate a pelvis having an inner surface and an outer surface defining a frame wall therebetween; the inner surface defines a central lumen extending along a longitudinal axis of the frame; the central lumen having a proximal opening and a distal opening, and wherein the frame comprises a first folded planar sheet forming a top portion of the frame connected to a second folded planar sheet forming a bottom portion of the frame;
wherein the frame is configured to removably receive at least one artificial tissue structure within the central lumen such that the at least one artificial tissue structure is at least partially suspended within the central lumen and at least partially encompassed by the frame wall along the central lumen;
wherein the central lumen has a cross-sectional area taken perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; wherein the cross-sectional area progressively increases from the proximal opening to the distal opening.
