Abstract :
Realistic simulation of tool-tissue interactions can help to develop more
e ective surgical training systems and simulators. This study uses a nite element and
meshless modeling approach to simulate the grasping procedure of a large intra-abdominal
organ, i.e. a kidney, during laparoscopic surgery. Results indicate that the accuracy of the
meshless method is comparable with that of the nite element method, with root mean
square errors in the range of 0.8 to 2.3 mm in di erent directions. For the model presented
in this study, the computational cost of the meshless method was much less than that of
the nite element model.
