TELEROBOTIC SURGERY SYSTEM FOR REMOTE SURGEON TRAINING USING ROBOTIC SURGERY STATION AND REMOTE SURGEON STATION WITH DISPLAY OF ACTUAL ANIMAL TISSUE IMAGES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

A telerobotic surgery system for remote surgeon training includes a robotic surgery station at a first location in a first structure at a first geographic point. The robotic surgery station includes at least one camera. Harvested animal tissue is at the robotic surgery station and viewable by the at least one camera, which generates an actual animal tissue image. A remote surgeon station is at a second location in a second structure at a second geographic point remote from the first geographic point. The remote surgeon station includes at least one surgeon display that cooperates with the at least one camera to display the actual animal tissue image. An image processor generates an additional image on the at least one surgeon display, wherein the additional image includes an anatomical structure image corresponding to the actual animal tissue image.
