A simulation system for training in endoscopic operations includes an endoscope apparatus, including at least one input for inserting an endoscopic working instrument, a sensor arrangement to detect a movement of the endoscopic working instrument, a control device to generate a virtual image of an endoscopic operation scene depending on a movement of the endoscopic working instrument, transmission means to transmit measured values supplied by the sensor arrangement to the control device for use in generating the virtual image and a display device to display the virtual image, where the sensor arrangement includes at least one optic sensor that interacts with a surface of a shaft of the endoscopic working instrument to detect the movement of the endoscopic working instrument. A flexible endoscope, an endoscopic working instrument and a method for recording a movement of an endoscopic working instrument as well as a method for training in endoscopic operations.
A simulation system for training in endoscopic operations, including an endoscope apparatus, which comprises at least one input for inserting an endoscopic working instrument, at least one sensor arrangement to detect a movement of the at least one endoscopic working instrument, a control device to generate a virtual image of an endoscopic operation scene depending on a movement of the at least one endoscopic working instrument, transmission means to transmit measured values supplied by the sensor arrangement to the control device for use in generating the virtual image and a display device to display the virtual image, wherein the sensor arrangement includes at least one optic sensor that interacts with a surface of a shaft of the endoscopic working instrument to detect the movement of the endoscopic working instrument.
flexible endoscope including an elongated shaft for insertion into a cavity, where the shaft comprises at least one working channel to introduce an endoscopic working instrument into the cavity, and an endoscope head that comprises at least one input to introduce the endoscopic working instrument into the shaft, wherein at least one sensor arrangement to detect a movement of the at least one endoscopic working instrument is present, which includes at least one optic sensor that interacts with a surface of a shaft of the endoscopic working instrument to detect the movement of the endoscopic working instrument.
A method for recording a movement of an endoscopic working instrument, comprising the following steps:
