The virtual reality technology simulates the feel of key-hole surgery, and the view a surgeon has during an operation.	The secret of the technology lies under the surgical drapes – a robotic arm resists the movement of the instruments in the same way that real organs would resist being moved or cut. This makes the surgery feel real, even though the organs don’t exist.

During the trial of the new technology, surgeons will use instruments inserted through a key-hole incision in a dummy abdomen while viewing a simulation of what is happening inside the “patient”.
