HAPTIC GUIDANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A surgical method, comprising the steps of:
- creating a representation of an anatomy of a patient;
associating the anatomy and a surgical device with the representation of the anatomy;
manipulating the surgical device to perform a procedure on a patient by moving a portion of the surgical device in a region of the anatomy;
controlling the surgical device to provide at least one of haptic guidance and a limit on manipulation of the surgical device, based on a relationship between the representation of the anatomy and at least one of a position, an orientation, a velocity, and an acceleration of a portion of the surgical device; and
adjusting the representation of the anatomy in response to movement of the anatomy during the procedure.

Abstract
A surgical apparatus includes a surgical device, configured to be manipulated by a user to perform a procedure on a patient, and a computer system. The computer system is programmed to create a representation of an anatomy of a patient; to associate the anatomy and a surgical device with the representation of the anatomy; to manipulate the surgical device to perform a procedure on a patient by moving a portion of the surgical device in a region of the anatomy; to control the surgical device to provide at least one of haptic guidance and a limit on manipulation of the surgical device, based on a relationship between the representation of the anatomy and at least one of a position, an orientation, a velocity, and an acceleration of a portion of the surgical device; and to adjust the representation of the anatomy in response to movement of the anatomy during the procedure.

25. A surgical method, comprising:
-
creating a representation of an anatomy of a patient; associating the anatomy and a haptic device with the representation of the anatomy; manipulating the haptic device to perform a procedure on a patient by moving a portion of the haptic device in a region of the anatomy;
the haptic device including at least one feedback mechanism configured to supply feedback during manipulation; andcontrolling the at least one feedback mechanism to provide haptic guidance, during manipulation of the haptic device, based on a relationship between the representation of the anatomy of the patient and at least one of a position, an orientation, a velocity, and an acceleration of a portion of the haptic device; and adjusting the representation of the anatomy of the patient in response to movement of the anatomy during the procedure.
