The Centre of Surgical Invention & Innovation (CSii) supports the development of novel approaches and devices in the areas of Minimally Invasive, Image Guided, or Automated/Robotics treatments for diagnosis or treatment.

Their Vision

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.

Their 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.
