Modified suction system for neurosurgery.

Abstract

A new system providing suction for neurosurgical operations is presented. It is designed so that the amount of suction is readily controllable and provides adequate suction for the removal of fluid and blood clots without damage to the nervous tissue. The device also allows the surgeon an unrestricted view of the operative field.

A virtual reality surgery simulation of cutting and retraction in neurosurgery with force-feedback.

A virtual-reality surgical simulator aimed at neurosurgery is presented. The simulator utilises boundary element (BE) technology to develop real-time realistic deformable models of the brain. The simulator incorporates the simulation of surgical prodding, pulling and cutting. Advanced features include the separation the cut surfaces by retractors and post-cutting deformations. The experience of virtual surgery is enhanced by implementing 3D stereo-vision and the use of two hand-held force-feedback devices.
