abstract     : An integral element of every surgical simulator is the ability
to interactively cut tissue. A number of approaches have been suggested
in the past, the most important being mesh subdivision by introducing
new elements and mesh adaptation by adjusting existing topology. In
this paper we combine these two methods and optimize them for our
training system of hysteroscopic interventions. The basic methodology
is introduced in 2D, a first extension to 3D is presented and finally the
integration into the simulator described.
