VIRTUAL SURGERY

Virtual surgery is a computer based simulated surgery, which can teach the surgeons new procedures and can determine their level of competence before they operate on patients. Virtual surgery is based on the concept of virtual reality.A simulated model of the human autonomy which look, feel and respond like a real human body is created for the surgeon to operate on.The virtual reality simulators consists of force feed back devices,a real time hapticcomputer, haptic software ,dynamic simulator and 3D-graphics.Using the 3D visualization technologies and thehaptic devices a surgery can be performed which enable the surgeon to reach into the virtual patient with their hands to touch, feel, grasp and manipulate the simulated organs.
