Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) is now a mature domain. Researchers, clinicians and industrial partners have developed CAS applications by building links with classical domains such as computer science, robotics, image processing and mathematics. This papers introduces the connection to biomechanics (i.e. the mechanics of living tissues) which is more recent for the CAS community.
