Abstract
This invention relates to a method for generating a virtual anatomic environment for use in minimally invasive surgery simulation, comprising the steps of: incorporating a main virtual anatomic environment (); selecting a local anatomic environment () from a predefined library () comprising a set of two or more simulated local anatomic environments (); including the selected local anatomic environment () in said main anatomic environment () to form a total virtual anatomic environment (). The invention also relates to a device for generating a virtual anatomic environment for use in minimally invasive surgery simulation, as well as a computer-based minimal-invasive surgery simulation system comprising such a device.
