The invention relates to a medical system comprising an instrument, a data processing and image generating apparatus and an image display and control unit. Of these, the position acquisition apparatus is embodied to acquire a position and orientation of the instrument in relation to a reference coordinate system. The data processing and image generating apparatus is embodied to generate an image of a body part from currently recorded or stored data representing a body part, which image reproduces a view of the body part together with a representation of the position, and preferably also the orientation, of the instrument in such a way that an observer can gather the position and orientation of the instrument in the body part from the image of the body part. Here, according to the invention, the image display and control unit is wirelessly connected to the data processing and image generating apparatus, and comprises a display and input unit with a closed surface. On the closed surface of the display and input unit, control elements and a respective view of the body part are displayed during operation of the image display and control unit, together with a representation of the position, and preferably also the orientation, of the instrument. The image display and control unit is embodied to accept user inputs via displayed control elements and to transmit control signals to the data processing and image generating apparatus as a function of the respectively accepted user inputs.
