Abstract: Surgical simulation devices and their methods of use are described. In some embodiments, a surgical simulation device includes a base, a first surgical model configured to simulate a first cleft lip condition, and a second surgical model configured to simulate a second cleft lip condition. The device includes a model support configured to be releasably engaged with the base. The first surgical model is disposed on a first surface of the model support and the second surgical model is disposed on a second surface of the model support. The base includes an internal volume sized and shaped to receive one of the first surgical model and the second surgical model. The other of the first surgical model and the second surgical model is at least partially exposed when the model support is engaged with the base.

Abstract: Surgical simulation devices including surgical models of various anatomical malformations as well as their methods of use and manufacture are described. In some embodiments, a surgical simulation device includes a base, a surgical model that simulates an anorectal malformation, and a model support. The model support is an internal volume sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of the surgical model such that an operating surface of the surgical model is exposed. The model support is releasably engaged with the base. In other embodiments, surgical models with simulated tissues including tissue reinforcement are described.

Abstract: A method and system for accommodating at least one high priority data element from a plurality of data elements written into a ring buffer including a processor that preempts a ring buffer by modifying at least one of the data elements previously written to the ring buffer to create modified data elements in response to detecting a high priority data element to be written into the ring buffer. The processor modifies the plurality of data elements previously written to the ring buffer to create the modified data elements. The processor resubmits to the ring buffer at least one of the data elements corresponding to at least one of the modified data elements for execution by a graphics co-processor in response to processing the at least one high priority data element.
