    Abstract:
    The progress in computer assisted surgery (CAS) is influenced by new technologies in imaging as well as by the input of the users. At present, CAS procedures are established in dorsal spine instrumentation, prosthetics and long bone surgery. Present status and future of CAS was a topic of an expert meeting at the Reisensburg castle. Imaging will speed up in the future using multi-detector techniques. C-arm navigation will gain more information using the 3D technology intraoperatively. CT based navigation procedures are standard in spine and will be established in pelvic surgery. CAS in robotics at the moment means the use of robot-assistance. A new concept is the modality-based navigated surgery, which can be used at various skeletal locations. Visualization of patient data will improve using 3D semi-transparencies with real time update. In the future it will be mandatory to find algorithms to fuse the different possibilities and techniques. A new concept of surgical training is necessary to teach CAS procedures. Therefore discussion must go on to improve these systems.
