There is described a system and a method for assisting a user manipulating an object during a surgery, the method comprising: tracking the object in a sterile field in which surgery is being performed at a location using a tracking device which generates tracking data; processing the tracking data using a processing device located outside the sterile field to generate position and orientation information related to the object; and sending the position and orientation information related to the object to a displaying device positioned in the sterile field adjacent to the location at which the surgery is being performed, for display to the user.

Computer-assisted surgery system and method

A method for establishing an interaction between an operator and a monitor of a computer-assisted surgery system comprises tracking a tool manipulated by the operator for providing surgical data calculated from the position/orientation of the tool. A desired interaction is identified from the operator by tracking the tool reaching a specific position and/or a specific orientation. An interactive action is activated on a monitor as a function of the desired interaction, the interactive action being unrelated to said surgical data. A motion of the tool is converted to additional interactions related to said interactive action. A computer-assisted surgery system is also provided.

Computer-assisted surgery system with user interface tool used as mouse in sterile surgery environment

A computer-assisted surgical system and method are described herein. The computer-assisted surgical system comprises a computer including three-dimensional models of anatomical structures and a user interface including a position sensing system to register in real-time the relative positions of the anatomical structures of interest and of a surgical tool. Interactions between the tool and the anatomical structure are displayed on a monitor using the three-dimensional models. Multi-view display, transparency display and use of cutting planes allow the surgeon to visualize the interaction between the tool and the anatomical structures any time during the surgical procedure. The system can also predict the constraint on anatomical structures before surgery.
