Surgical Simulation: Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Procedures in Full-Body VR Anatomy

Minimally invasive surgery has transformed modern theatre practice, but it has also changed the way clinicians need to train. In laparoscopic procedures such as appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and hysterectomy, the surgeon is no longer relying on direct hand-to-tissue contact in the traditional sense.
