摘要：
A tissue manipulation system includes Programmable Markers configured to be implanted on opposite sides of one or more portions of tissue within a patient's body, Markers communicating with one another to enable a determination of their relative positions and External Device receiving and transmitting signals to Markers containing information as to Marker's positions. Device is configured to: capture an image of the tissue portions with Markers； manipulate the image of the tissue portions in a virtual environment or a simulated environment to a desired restored orientation； determine desired positions Markers will have when the tissue portions are in the desired restored orientation； program implanted Markers with the desired orientations. Device generates an indicator signal upon Markers being manipulated into the desired orientations； and manipulate the tissue portions after Markers have been programmed, until an indicator signal is generated indicating that the desired restored orientation has been substantially achieved.
