SURGICAL ASSISTANCE USING PHYSICAL MODEL OF PATIENT TISSUE

摘要

A method for assisting with a surgical procedure upon a native patient tissue using a physical model of the native patient tissue includes providing a three-dimensional physical model of a patient tissue. At least one surgical action is performed upon the physical model. The at least one surgical action performed upon the physical model is recorded. A planned surgical itinerary including the at least one recorded action performed upon the physical model is produced. The surgical actions of the planned surgical itinerary are performed upon at least one of the native patient tissue and a three-dimensional physical model of a patient tissue. Adherence of the performed surgical actions to the planned surgical itinerary is monitored.
