Middle-Ear Microsurgery Simulation to Improve New Robotic Procedures

Figure 6

Simulation of the placement of an ossicular prosthesis. The ossicular prosthesis is placed through the perforated stapes footplate and fixed to the incus. (a) Experimental view with the visualization of the detected collisions in blue and red lines. The prosthesis is clipped to the incus. (b) According to a surgical view, the round gray area is the view of a 6 mm diameter speculum. The prosthesis is going to be clipped.
