Surgical simulation is an important field of application in virtual reality. A virtual surgery trainer can not only help to improve the skills of the surgeons, it also solves ethical issues related to training on animals or humans. The main requirement on a surgery simulator is the plausible deformation of the soft tissue in realtime and its interactive manipulation using various surgical instruments, including cutting.
