The tool is calledRoboSurgery and it was designed for engineers that needtraining on how to use laparoscopic surgical robots. Thetool contains two types of robots: an endoscopic holderrobot (Hibou robot), and two surgical robots (LapBot robot),all of them handled by joystick. The system allowsthe observation of the inside of the abdominal cavity of thepatient by a virtual image generated by the endoscopicholder camera, while the two surgical robots work ona virtual cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder).Results show a useful system to help understand theoperation of laparoscopic robot-assisted procedures, accordingto the evaluation made by a group of studentsand teachers. In the future this tool could include moresurgical robots and more surgical procedures, as well asmore realism including body deformation algorithms.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Ingenieria y Universidad}, author={Guzmán-Villamarín, Diego Enrique and Vivas-Alban, Oscar Andres}, year={2015}, month={Mar.}, pages={7–25} }
