Centre for Surgical Invention and Innovation

The vision of CSii is to enhance the “Quality of Care” and accelerate “Access to Care” for Canadian patients in the new
emerging fields of Minimally Invasive Surgery and Image Targeted Therapies using Computer Assisted, Image Guided and Robotic technologies. By achieving this vision we hope to make new avenues for care possible, and enable care providers to gain new techniques and skills that would not be possible without these technologies.
Goals. To enhance the surgical capability of robotic technology, potentially improving the dexterity, automation, or
interaction with new image guidance modalities, as well as to increase and improve the ability of remote
tele-presence surgery using these robotic interventions. To support the development of new minimally invasive technology and image guided interventions that will better leverage the advantages of emerging innovation in medical imagery and provide more effective, less invasive care to patients.
