Summary:In the field of plastic surgery, delicate procedures for anastomosis of small nerves and blood vessels are required. To improve microsurgical technique, training in an environment simulating actual surgery is necessary, but there is no system with sufficient performance yet. We have developed an AR-based microsurgery training system that enables stereoscopic viewing of microsurgery procedures while watching a surgical image of a veteran doctor as a teacher image. To simultaneously solve the problem of low resolution and the problem of time delay between the actual procedure and the viewed video, a new input device using two cameras was developed. The developed system was evaluated by a plastic surgeon.
