Simulation model for robotic surgery
Francisco Schlottmann, MD, Marco G Patti, MD. University of North CarolinaSurgical simulation is particularly attractive because it avoids practicing skills in patients, allowing trainees to learn such skills in a safe, controlled, and standardized environment. We designed a novel robotic surgical simulator that allows the simulation of entire surgical procedures. We believe that this model… Continue Reading
