Robotic systems for cardiac surgery have been introduced in clinical trials to facilitate minimally invasive techniques. Widespread use of surgical robotics necessitates new training methods to improve skills and continued practicing as the robotic systems are frequently being upgraded. Today, robotic training is performed on expensive animal models. Integration of a digital trainer with the two present robotic systems applied in coronary artery bypass procedures on beating heart requires real time simulation of tissue mechanics, sutures, instruments and bleeding, but no extra haptic device, since the robotic master is the haptic apparatus itself. We have demonstrated the possibility of obtaining surgical simulation on a standard PC Linux system by integrating free-form geometry data structures integrated with spring-mass tissue models. This technology also makes benefits when simulation is to be used over a network with limited bandwidth, especially when it comes to handling of soft tissue dynamics. |
