This paper describes a deformable organ model suited for a real-time surgical simulation system. This proposed organ model allows us to perform surgical maneuvers such as pressing, pinching, various incisions, resection and to show the deformation of the inner structures such as blood vessels on our system. At the same time, we have been developing a VR cockpit suited for virtual surgery and tele-surgery. Using our cockpit, our system allows us to provide the users with an environment closely resembling the open surgery situation.
