# Is surgery possible virtually?

During the adamant growth of artificial intelligence and the [global pandemic](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/108008/global-pandemic-updates) [side by side](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12815/display-two-fields-side-by-side-in-a-bootstrap-form), it became nearly impossible for surgeons and doctors to examine each patient individually. On one hand, there is a risk of getting infected and on the other hand, the patient list is growing exponentially.

But we no more need to worry, because the **surgery simulator** is here to help! With the help of advanced [artificial intelligence](https://www.mindstick.com/services/artificial-intelligence) techniques, [software development](https://www.mindstick.com/services/erp-software-development) in the healthcare sector, and innovation in the field of [technology](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13005/the-functional-aspects-of-laser-technology), it has become easy to operate virtually. This simulator is used for a variety of [surgical procedures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surgical_procedures) which are performed by advanced surgeons in operation theaters. It is also useful in training the surgeons without the use of a patient, animal, or cadaver. It constitutes of real-time images, identical controls of the original device, and probable problems that may occur during a real surgery\

Some important surgeries that are performed by this simulator are laparoscopic surgery, Cataract surgery, and other ophthalmic procedures.

#### Development:

The development of virtual surgery is possible in [coordination](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/72258/who-was-launching-a-new-scheme-indian-cyber-crime-coordination-centre-i4c-to-combat-cybercrime-in-the-country) with the development of [video games](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/251/should-violent-video-games-be-banned). It depicts similarities in several areas. Thus, when the popularity of video games started getting higher, the developers innovated more by integrating the processes in the healthcare sector.
