“…When this research was begun in 1998, simulators were in development for knee arthroscopy, laparoscopy, endoscopy, epidural needle insertion, and sinus endoscopy. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] These were three-dimensional graphical simulations of anatomy, with haptic feedback, to support planning a surgical or clinical procedure. Some included the ability to cut and move tissue.…”

Learning anatomy and surgical procedures requires both a conceptual understanding of three-dimensional anatomy and a hands-on manipulation of tools and tissue. Such virtual resources are not available widely, are expensive, and may be culturally disallowed. Simulation technology, using high-performance computers and graphics, permits realistic real-time display of anatomy. Haptics technology supports the ability to probe and feel this virtual anatomy through the use of virtual tools. The Internet permits world-wide access to resources. We have brought together high-performance servers and high-bandwidth communication using the Next Generation Internet and complex bimanual haptics to simulate a tool-based learning environment for wide use. This article presents the technologic basis of this environment and some evaluation of its use in the gross anatomy course at Stanford University.

“…Owing to the development of three-dimensional reconstruction technology, the process and results of some surgical resections can be well simulated on a computer [ [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] ]. Through 3D computer reconstruction, the volume and proportion of the removed pancreas can be calculated preoperatively using a predetermined simulated resection.…”
