1. A method for performing tissue manipulation, comprising the steps of: implanting first and second markers on first and second portions of tissue, respectively, wherein a position of each of the first and second markers is capable of being determined; actuating an instrument to capture an image of the first and second portions of tissue with the first and second markers attached thereto; manipulating the image of the first and second portions of tissue in a simulated environment to a desired orientation; determining positions of the first and second markers in the desired orientation using the instrument; programming the implanted markers with the desired orientation, the markers being capable of generating an indicator signal when in the desired orientation; and manipulating the first and second portions of tissue until an indicator signal is generated by the markers indicating the desired orientation has been substantially achieved.
