Abstract

It is acknowledged by the medical community that further development of minimally invasive surgery is mainly driven by progress in medical engineering. To overcome many of the current barriers, computer science has to play a major role. In particular, improvement of spatial orientation, the development of intelligent mechatronic support systems, intelligent workflow organization, and simulation are among the essential issues.
