Abstract
A method and apparatus for manipulating tissue. A tissue control point is displayed over an image of the tissue in a user interface. An input is received that moves the tissue control point within the user interface. A first instrument that is physically associated with the tissue is operated based on the received input to thereby manipulate the tissue.
