Dynamical modeling of the middle ear and tools organs interactions to develop a simulator applied to otological surgery (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract Microsurgery of the middle ear requires high dexterity due to the finesse and the extreme sensitivity of the structures involved. Learning this surgery is delicate and is performed at the end of the residency. This work focuses on the development of a mechanical finite element model of the anatomical structures that compose the middle ear in order to design a surgical simulator. The objectives are to provide a versatile tool for learning and training of the surgery by surgical pra [...]Keywords : Medical and surgical simulations, Robotics, Computer science, Haptics, Minimally-invasive, Educational, Microsurgery
Virtual Simulations and Serious Games in Community Health Nursing Education: A Review of the Literature (Broacasting our studies)
