Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a surgical technique involving
small incisions performed by an endoscope and several long, thin
instruments. MIS minimizes complications and speeds up recovery
time compared to the traditional surgery. Unfortunately, from a
surgeon's perspective, MIS is much more challenging than
conventional open surgery because of the limited vision and sensing
feedbacks. In the last decade, we have witnessed dramatic increases
in performance of computerized assisted system, achieved through
increasing computational capabilities and advances in sensor
designs. The objective of this research is to design and realize a
novel prototype that advances the state of the art in surgical
training, assessment, and guidance for MIS. The proposed
Situational Awareness Enhancing System (SAES) uses a unified
framework incorporating perception, comprehension, and projection
software modules that provide feedback during the exercises and
enable evaluation of the training procedure. The low cost solution
would permit our system to not only measure a trainee's progress in
acquiring psychomotor skills, but also to evaluate instrument
effectiveness in reducing error.
