“…Force feedback is computed using both the surface model and volumetric models. Wang et al [Wang et al 2013] proposed a surgical procedure simulation system for training of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, including operations such as puncturing, probing, incision, and drilling. A linear elastic finite element method and positionbased dynamics are employed for deformable modeling.…”

Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery has replaced the common orthopaedic surgery procedures on joints. However it demands from surgeons to acquire very different motor-skills for using special miniature pencil-like instruments and cameras inserted through little incisions on the body while observing the surgical field on a video monitor. Training in virtual reality is becoming an alternative to traditional surgical training based on either real patients or increasingly difficult to procure cadavers. In this paper we propose solutions for simulation in virtual environments a few basic arthroscopic procedures including incision of the arthroscopic camera, positioning of the instrument in front of it, as well as using scissors and graspers. Our approach is based on both full 3D simulation and haptic interaction as well as image-based visualization and haptic interaction.

“…Computer‐based surgery simulators have been developed over the past 20 years. Early practices mostly focus on skill training for laparoscopic and arthroscopic surgeries . Tools used in these surgeries are typically rigid, and the training emphasis is on tackling the hand‐eye coordination problem caused by the indirect visual feedback from an endoscopic camera.…”

This paper presents an interactive simulation system for surgical procedures of endovascular aneurysm repair. It extracts anatomical structure of clinic interest from patient‐specific X‐ray computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging data by image segmentation techniques, and then reconstructs surface triangular meshes of these anatomical structures from the volumetric data. The core of the system is an interactive computer‐based simulation module. It consists of a physical modeling unit, a collision detection unit, a visualization unit, and a control unit. The integration of these units together makes it possible for users to interact with the system in real time, performing virtual catheterization, angiography, and stent graft deployment under a user‐specified rendering mode. The prototype system can be used as a cost‐efficient tool for surgical planning with patient‐specific anatomical geometry and for practice of surgical procedures before actual operation.

“…Tuijthof et al [8,9] developed a physical environment to practice arthroscopic surgical skills to simulate operative real-life treatment. Y. Wang [10] developed a surgical procedure simulation system called vKASS for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Compared to previous studies, this system built a complete simulation for the entire procedure of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.…”

BackgroundArthroscopic surgical training is inherently difficult due to limited visibility, reduced motion freedom and non-intuitive hand-eye coordination. Traditional training methods as well as virtual reality approach lack the direct guidance of an experienced physician.MethodsThis paper presents an experience-based arthroscopic training simulator that integrates motion tracking with a haptic device to record and reproduce the complex trajectory of an arthroscopic inspection procedure. Optimal arthroscopic operations depend on much practice because the knee joint space is narrow and the anatomic structures are complex. The trajectory of the arthroscope from the experienced surgeon can be captured during the clinical treatment. Then a haptic device is used to guide the trainees in the virtual environment to follow the trajectory.ResultsIn this paper, an experiment for the eight subjects’ performance of arthroscopic inspection on the same simulator was done with and without the force guidance. The experiment reveals that most subjects’ performances are better after they repeated the same inspection five times. Furthermore, most subjects’ performances with the force guidance are better than those without the force guidance. In the experiment, the average error with the force guidance is 33.01% lower than that without the force guidance. The operation time with the force guidance is 14.95% less than that without the force guidance.ConclusionsWe develop a novel virtual knee arthroscopic training system with virtual and haptic guidance. Compared to traditional VR training system that only has a single play-script based on a virtual model, the proposed system can track and reproduce real-life arthroscopic procedures and create a useful training database. From our experiment, the force guidance can efficiently shorten the learning curve of novice trainees. Through such system, novice trainees can efficiently develop required surgical skills by the virtual and haptic guidance from an experienced surgeon.
