A surgical operation is carried out on the grounds of sufficient professional knowledge. If an expert system for the plan and simulation of a surgical operation is constructed, it is possible to support the surgeon and the nurse who hands over the surgical instruments. This study deals with knowledge acquisition for creating an expert system of a surgial operation. The structure of a surgical operation is elucidated by using 'the page model' which is the method of knowledge representation, and the rules are acquired. The motion unit is constructed from these rules. Further, as these units are connected in an inference engine page, the complicated sequence of a surgical operation can be formulated and represented.
