Abstract
A method and system are presented for performing virtual surgery simulations. The computer system includes a processor and a memory. The method includes receiving user input from a user via a user interface. The user input includes input representing surgical operations or non-surgical invasive procedures. The method also includes processing the user input and utilizing the input to generate or modify a computational model. The method also includes running simulations using the computational model in accordance with the user input. After running the simulations, the method further includes determining results from the simulations. The results correspond to probable effects or outcomes of performing real life surgical operations or non-surgical invasive procedures corresponding to the user input. Last, the method includes presenting the results to the user via the user interface.
