Abstract
The ability to obtain rapid data processing through computer-generated programs has a potential impact on all aspects of surgery. Computer-generated three-dimensional (3D) images allow visualization of structures from multiple points of view as well as development of interaction of virtual instruments with the virtual organs. Applications of this virtual reality systems provide new opportunities for education and training, preoperative diagnostics, preoperative planning, and intra- and postoperative applications.
