Modern cataract surgery for radiation-induced cataracts in retinoblastoma

Alessia Pica

Background Surgery of radiation-induced cataracts in children with retinoblastoma (RB) is a challenge as early intervention is weighted against the need to delay surgery until complete tumour control is obtained. This study analyses the safety and function ...

VR simulation of interventional radiology and microsurgery

Fei Wang

Currently trainees typically learn surgery techniques directly on mocks, animals or cadavers. For safety, cost and ethics reasons, one cannot try all possible strategies to achieve efficient learning. Virtual Reality (VR) based surgery training systems int ...

A Framework for Intraoperative Update of 3D Deformable Models in Liver Surgery

Charles Baur, Benoît Dagon

Efficient computer assisted surgery dealing with soft tissues remains a complex task. In most cases, the preoperative information such as 3D organ reconstructions and the planning built upon are no longer valid during the surgical process itself due to the ...

Modélisation mécanique de fils pour la simulation chirurgicale

Lindo Robert Duratti

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents one of the major progresses in surgery in the last decade. In general, it is based on the application of small body-cuts through which instruments are inserted into the patient's body allowing the surgeon to carr ...
