Summary

With the aim of training new surgery-students, HAL proposes a computer-based training system for cataract surgery in this paper. Indeed, this operation, to be well done, needs a lot of practice. However, sutends can't train themselves with real patients. Moreover, this training system allows students to make some mistakes and keep training, which is not the case in reality.

Firstly, the system described is thought to be as realistic as possible, for instance there is a 3D mannequin to realize operations, a full environment which looks like a true surgery room (with mmonitors, surgery tools, ...). This training system is based on a software: SOFA. In this, all is calculated and close to the reality: real values are used to configure the tools, the deformation of the capsule or the lens isn't random but genuine.

The deformation of the lens is represented thanks to a co-rotational FEM (Finite element models) formulation with linear elasticity. mesh=grillage/réseau coarse=épais tip=bout cue=signal shaders=ombreurs? tessellated=mosaïque
