Measuring Surgical Behavior

SYMPOSIUM

Date: Friday, August 27
Time: 10:00-12:30
Location: Zernike
Chair: Gabrielle J.M. Tuijthof (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands)

Medical technology is evolving quickly. This is also true in the operating theatre, where the introduction of minimally invasive surgery has brought many benefits for the patient: less morbidity, and quicker recovery. Despite these advances in technology, patient safety cannot be guaranteed for 100%.

This symposium aims to give an overview of different methods as developed by researchers in the surgical field. They will all discuss their own efforts to meet the challenge of measuring surgical behaviour. Finally, we can point out a direction towards a future ultimate registration tool.
