Abstract
In laparotomy in the field of abdominal trauma surgery, the layers of the intestinal tract and surrounding tissues are dissected to expose target organs and blood vessels. In this operation, a surgeon relies on tactile information obtained from the fingers in the absence of visual information, and the resistance is small when the fingers enter the appropriate dissection site, while the response changes when the fingers enter the inappropriate site due to interference with the ureter and other organs. In this paper, we developed and evaluated a prototype system that combines an elastic string and flexible sheets to practice redoing the operation by recognizing interference when fingers enter an inappropriate dissection site. The results suggest that the system can be applied to training to learn the tactile sensation of fingertips in case of inappropriate dissection.
