“…Qin et al [35] improved MSM by constructing a multi-layered MSM based on the layered structure of biological soft tissues and further applied this technique in the virtual orthopaedic surgery. Choi et al [33,36,37] devised a force propagation MSM for virtual reality (VR) based medical learning. It considers the process of soft tissue deformation as a process of force propagation among the masses of soft tissues on a per-node basis [36].…”

This paper presents a survey of the state-of-the-art deformable models studied in the literature, with regard to soft tissue deformable modeling for interactive surgical simulation. It first introduces the challenges of surgical simulation, followed by discussions and analyses on the deformable models, which are classified into three categories: the heuristic modeling methodology, continuum-mechanical methodology, and other methodologies. It also examines linear and nonlinear deformable modeling, model internal forces, and numerical time integrations, together with modeling of soft tissue anisotropy, viscoelasticity, and compressibility. Finally, various issues in the existing deformable models are discussed to outline the remaining challenges of deformable models in surgical simulation.

“…Besides transport protocols, it is also necessary to design novel and specific application-level protocols to fulfill the special requirements of collaborative virtual surgery. For example, in [26], a communication protocol for collaborative deformable simulation is developed with the definition of a number of primitive operations. The primitives of the protocol are categorized into five distinct types, namely, connection operations, configuration operations, transformation operations, deformation operations and collaboration operations.…”

While considerable effort has been dedicated to improve medical education with virtual reality based surgical simulators, relatively little attention is given to the simulation of the collaborative procedures in distributed environments. In this paper, we first present a literature review of techniques involved in the development of collaborative simulators, including network architecture, transmission protocol, collaboration mechanism, schedule algorithm, collaborative user-interaction feature and haptic communication. We introduce the details of each technique and discuss the advantages and drawbacks. Then, we review some of the existing applications to illustrate how to apply these techniques to implement an efficient and robust collaborative simulator. Finally, we discuss the challenges that need to be addressed in the future.
