The surgical dexterous suturing and knotting movements are photographed with binocular stereo vision and the movements' locus is captured through identifying the RGB values in a series of key-frames. Then a normal movement path of knot-tying is obtained through curve-fitting and smoothing. And meanwhile, the workspace of knot-tying manipulation in microsurgeries is got. And thus, a good foundation is laid for the design of an automatic knotting mechanism and for the establishment of a virtual surgery training system.

Microsurgery is technically challenging, typically requiring a primary surgeon and an assistant to complete several key operative steps. These may include manipulation of fine structures, such as nerves or vessels in preparation for anastomosis; stabilization of the structures; and needle driving. Even seemingly mundane tasks of suture cutting and knot tying require fine coordination between the primary surgeon and assistant in the microsurgical environment.

Manipulating cloth-like deformable objects (CDOs) is a long-standing problem in the robotics community. CDOs are flexible (non-rigid) objects that do not show a detectable level of compression strength while two points on the article are pushed towards each other and include objects such as ropes (1D), fabrics (2D) and bags (3D). In general, CDOs' many degrees of freedom (DoF) introduce severe self-occlusion and complex state-action dynamics as significant obstacles to perception and manipulation systems.

Background: Microsurgery is one of the most challenging areas of surgery with a steep learning curve. To address this educational need, microsurgery curricula have been developed and validated, with the majority focus on technical skills only. The aim of this study was to report on the evaluation of a well-established curriculum using the Kirkpatrick model.

Background: The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationship between the acquisition of laparoscopic suturing skills and other operative laparoscopic skills and to provide evidence to determine ideal time and duration to introduce laparoscopic suturing training.
Methods: The first part of the study explored the relationship between the acquisition of laparoscopic suturing skills and proficiency of other operative laparoscopic skills. The second part of the study consisted of an opinion survey from senior and junior trainees on aspects of training in laparoscopic suturing.
