Abstract
- The paper deals with the development of virtual surgical simulator for microanastomosis developed within the INTERREG (Italy-Greece) MICRO project. Microanastomosis is a surgical technique that involves, under optical magnification, the conjunction of blood vessels of a few millimeters diameter and is used also to support the surgical treatment of tumours. This manuscript describes the two principal solutions analysed during the progress of the MICRO project. The first step concerns the development of the simulator using the Unity3D engine; the second step describes an evolution of the surgical simulator to support remote control by a haptic interface via web using the WebGL platform based on JavaScript code. For both, a force feedback module has been implemented that reads data coming from the simulator and converts them to generate a servo control action on the haptic interface. For both solutions, some results of the implemented simulator are described .
