Patent ID: 8591236

Claim:
A method for training a user in a medical procedure in a simulated surgical interaction in a training session within a simulated environment comprising the steps of: providing an interactive computer system with a virtual geometrical representation of at least one organ and at least one instrument in the simulated surgical interaction within the simulated environment, wherein the instrument is operated by the user in the training session, wherein the representation of at least one organ part of the virtual organ to be treated is covered with at least one graphical identification marker, wherein the computer system comprises a table stored in memory comprising predefined situations arising within the medical procedure predefined through positions of the at least one instrument, positions of the at least one organ, the logical sequence of steps to be executed within said medical procedure, one or more different aspect values for the one or more graphical identification markers and one or more assessment values for said situation; changing the aspect of one or more graphical identification markers according to the stored value in said table for the predefined situation upon interaction of the user with the at least one organ and the at least one instrument; and storing the corresponding assessment value of the training session in a history log table within the computer system.
