Researchers are developing a versatile computer-assisted system for endoscopic surgery and training, including in vivo monitoring for operating rooms. This framework aims for modular, general, and reusable surgical technology.

Area of Science:

  • Computer-assisted surgery
  • Surgical training systems
  • Medical technology innovation

Background:

  • Current surgical training often relies on in vitro models.
  • Endoscopic surgery requires advanced visualization and control.
  • A need exists for integrated systems supporting both training and real-time surgical guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a generic framework for computer-assisted endoscopic surgery and training.
  • To detail the design and information technology underpinning the system.
  • To establish a modular, general, and reusable system architecture.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for framework design.
  • Adopting object-oriented concepts for system development.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Employing established mathematical tools for system foundation.
