Abstract:
At present, surgical residents develop required hands-on skills mainly through trials on animals, cadavers and patients. These training approaches, however, have obvious disadvantages: animals have different anatomies from humans; cadavers are unable to provide appropriate physiological responses; it is risky when students practice on patients. With recent advances in haptics, computer graphics and virtual reality, surgical simulators have great potential to overcome these problems. In this talk, the current development of surgical simulators will be reviewed. The main challenges and difficulties will be explained. In particular, we will focus on issues such as tissue modelling, visual feedback and haptic interaction.
