Advancing Virtual Surgery with Hybrid Soft Tissue Simulation Models

This article introduces a novel approach to soft tissue simulation for medical training and surgical planning. By integrating precise finite element model parameters with efficient spring models, we have achieved simulations that maintain computational efficiency and accurate feedback force calculations. The introduction of position-based dynamic constraints enhances the stability of the model during simulation, addressing common challenges in real-time medical simulations. Our approach offers a promising solution for realistic and practical applications within virtual surgical platforms.
