Haptica ProMIS Colorectal Surgery Simulation

transcript

Users practice on a physical, anatomically correct model with defined surgical planes — with IMA, pulsation, ureter, etc

Whether done HALS or purely laparoscopically, real instruments are used, including energy devices and staplers

In Step 1, a virtual small bowel is retracted when the bodyform is tilted. A video shows how the step works in a real

procedure and provides additional guidance

In Step 3, once the tissue has been dissected, the user identifies the IMA through haptic feel – with either instrument

or hand© Haptica 2006-2010

Onscreen graphics provide guidance for dissection, transaction, retraction - and performance measurement

Users must stop (virtual) bleeding overlaid on the haptic model using the real energy device

The colon is externalized to resect the tumor and insert the anvil of the circular stapler

Sutures are used to secure the anvil. Anastomosis is created intra-corporeally

Irrigation and suction is performance through virtual reality and real instruments

On completing the procedure, users review performance results. Simulators can be networked for gathering group

And examine the real model for performance
