Unreferenced date September 2010 Exploratory surgery is a diagnostic method used by doctors when trying to find a diagnosis for an ailment. It can be performed in both humans and animals, but it is far more common in animals. It is used most commonly to diagnose or locate cancer in humans, but it can be used for other ailments as well. The use of new technologies such as MRI s have made exploratory surgeries less frequent. Exploratory surgery and cancer Sometimes, cancer is located in a place where standard tests cannot detect it. In this case, doctors must go into surgery and look for the cancerous mass manually. This procedure, which is what is commonly associated with exploratory surgery, is not used for treatment at all. Citation needed date October 2009 Instead, it is used chiefly to identify the location of the tumor and the extent of its damage. If a tumor is found, a biopsy is performed and tests are run to see what type of cancer was found. Citation needed date October 2009 Exploratory surgery in animals Because animals cannot voice their symptoms as easily as humans, exploratory surgery is more common in animals. Exploratory surgery is done when looking for a foreign body that may be lodged in the animal s body, when looking for cancer, or when looking for various other gastrointestinal problems. It is a fairly routine procedure that is done only after tests and bloodwork reveal nothing abnormal.

Virtual surgery refers to a virtual reality simulation of surgical procedures. Such simulations are used to practice often dangerous surgical procedure s without the need for an actual patient . The virtual reality simulation is used as an analog for the actual surgery where doctors can practice on a virtual patient before performing the surgery. Types of surgeries commonly simulated are laparoscopic surgery where the surgeon cannot physically see the operation being performed. Virtual surgery uses a computer screen displaying a 3 dimensional graphic of the organs being operated on. Various surgical tools or gloves are connected to motion sensor s and haptic or tactile feedback mechanisms where the user can physically feel the difference in simulated tissue and organs. The user can perform surgery upon the virtual organs by manipulating the tools, which are also displayed on the screen as the user moves them, and the tools also provide force feedback and collision detection to indicate to the user when they are pushing on or moving some organs or tissue. By inputting data from computerized tomography CT and magnetic resonance imaging MRI scans the patient can be replicated in the virtual environment. The advantages of this type of simulation is surgeons can practice operations multiple times without the use of cadavers or animals.
