A surgical training system and method. The system comprises means for recording reference data representing a reference manipulation of a computer generated model of an object by a master user; means for physically guiding a trainee user based on the recorded reference data during a training manipulation of the model of the object by the trainee user; and means for recording assessment data representing an assessment manipulation of the model of the object by the trainee user without guidance.

Robot assisted surgical training

A laparoscopic liver resection device is described. The device combines the Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) technology with a cutting mechanism, a blood-flow sensor and a flexible actuation mechanism to simultaneously coagulate and cut the liver tissue and detect the presence of blood flow to confirm avascularity. The present invention eliminates the risk of excess bleeding due to cutting too deep and reduces recovery time and the time spent on re-coagulation of coagulated areas, thereby shortening duration of surgery. Also embodiments prevent excess ablation by stopping ablation activity on the target tissue as soon as insufficient or no blood flow in the target tissue is detected. Thus a closed loop control for a bloodless tissue/organ division method is provided.

A robotic device for use in image-guided robot assisted surgical training, the robotic device comprising a manual interface structure configured to simulate handling of a surgical tool; a translational mechanism for translational motion of the manual interface structure; a rotational mechanism for rotational motion of the manual interface structure; and a spherical mechanism configured to decouple the orientation of the manual interface structure into spatial coordinates, wherein a linkage between the rotational mechanism, the rotational mechanism and the spherical mechanism, and the manual interface structure are disposed on opposing sides of an intersection of a pitch axis and a yaw axis of the spherical mechanism.

Robotic device for use in image-guided robot assisted surgical training

A device () for laparoscopic or thoracoscopic surgery, the device () comprising: a first member () to be moved across the body () of a patient; and a second member () to be placed within the body (), the second member () comprising an image capturing device () to capture images from within the body () and to transmit the captured images for display; wherein the second member () is in magnetic engagement with the first member () such that the movement of the second member () within the body () is in response to movement of the first member () across the body ().
