Abstract

A device to set and retrieve a reference point during a surgical procedure. The device (12) has an endoscope (312) which captures several images successively as an image sequence and generates image data corresponding to the image sequence, which data are then processed and output on at least one display unit (44). A control unit (40) determines the first position of a first point at a first point in time, a second position of a second point at a second point in time, and a first distance vector between the first position and the second position. The positions are determined via the kinematic chain of a manipulator arm (16a,16b).
