Florida Poly researchers developing 3D simulator to enhance surgery training

Bariatric surgeries have become more and more necessary for thousands of people across the country each year who need medical assistance to combat obesity. Two Florida Polytechnic University professors are working on a highly realistic 3D bariatric procedure simulator to help ensure doctors have the best training possible to perform the surgery. The work is […]
Florida Poly computer science team works to transform surgical training

When surgeons learn to perform arthroscopic surgery on a patient’s shoulder area, navigating around the confined area and tight structures with instruments inserted through small incisions can be challenging. Adding unintuitive camera orientation and constrained motions further complicates the task. A group of faculty and student researchers at Florida Polytechnic University are working to make […]
