New study refines precision of medical needles in surgical simulation: Researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered a way of improving the accuracy of medical needle-use in surgical simulation. Their breakthrough, the details of which have been published in Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems, will improve training for junior surgeons by reproducing an effect as similar as possible to real life delivery. It will also have the potential to be used for the development of surgical robotic solutions. The team, using the theory of continuum mechanics, which focuses on the mechanical behaviour of materials modelled as a
