METHOD OF CALCULATING A SURGICAL INTERVENTION PLAN

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of calculating a surgical intervention plan. Based on surface data of the patient a surface representation of a part of the patient s body is created. From a database a plurality of surgical methods may be selected and the geometrical parameters of a surgical plan can be adapted based on each individual surgical method. Therefore the surgeon may easily select which of the surgical method is appropriate for the planned surgical intervention. Furthermore the surgical intervention plan which has been adapted according to the finally selected surgical method may then be projected onto the skin of the patient such that a drawing of the incision lines is facilitated. Furthermore the use of a remotely activatable pen based on the current position of the pen and based on the finally selected surgical plan is presented.
