Abstract

This paper presents the surgical suturing simulator for wound closure, which is designed for education and training purposes. Currently it is designed specifically to support a simulation of the AutosutureTM Endo StitchTM suturing, but could be extended for other surgical instruments designed for intracorporeal suturing. The simulator allows a trainee to perform a virtual wound closure by interrupted suture with real surgical instrument handles customized to fit on haptic devices. The wound simulation is based on a triangular surface mesh embedded in a linear hexahedral finite element mesh, whereas the suture simulation is based on a simplified Cosserat theory of elastic rods. Our novel heuristic combination of physically-based and control-based simulations makes the simulator run efficiently in real time on mid-level desktop PCs and notebooks.
