Abstract
A surgical support system including: an eye behaviour monitoring apparatus that monitors eye behaviour of a surgeon performing a surgical procedure to obtain eye behaviour data of the surgeon; a surgical data generating apparatus that generates surgical data associated with the surgical procedure being performed by the surgeon; a surgical intervention apparatus that performs an intervention procedure for intervening in the surgeon's performance of the surgical procedure; and a data processing apparatus that: determines a value of an intervention parameter associated with the surgical procedure using the obtained eye behaviour data; determines an acceptable range of the value of the intervention parameter using the generated surgical data, and if the determined value of the intervention parameter is outside the determined acceptable range of the value of the intervention parameter, controls the surgical intervention apparatus to perform the intervention procedure for intervening in the surgeon's performance of the surgical procedure.
