1. Haptic and visual simulation of material cutting process : a study focused on bone surgery and the use of simulators for education and training
Abstract : A prototype of a haptic and virtual reality simulator has been developed for simulation of the bone milling and material removal process occurring in several operations, e.g. temporal bone surgery or dental milling. The milling phase of an operation is difficult, safety critical and very time consuming. READ MORE

5. Construction, Validation and Application of a Virtual Reality Simulator for the Training of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate
Abstract : The fundamental of surgical training is the traditional apprenticeship method introduced by William Halsted which has been used for the last 100 years. It is based on learning in the operating room (OR) where the resident is guided by an experienced surgeon and gradually and methodically exposed to surgery. READ MORE
