Chou Shittou Caduceus (lit. "Super Surgical Operation Caduceus"), localized as Trauma Center, is a series of arcade-puzzle/visual novel games in which players assume the role of a surgeon in a fictional hospital setting to strive to save their patients from a pathological condition such as disease or injury using surgical instruments, suturing, and the "Healing Touch" (a fictional superhuman ability). A recurring theme throughout the series is the protagonist's trials of treating bioterrorism victims. These games are designed to make use of the Nintendo DS' touch screen and the Wii's Motion sensing and pointing features, being exclusively released on those systems.
