Jelínek, F. (author)Contemporary medical imaging technologies, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, play a pivotal role in medical diagnosis, allowing for a relatively fast and non-invasive examination of the human body. In the field of cancer surgery they allow for preoperative detection of tumorous tissue and aid the surgical planning....doctoral thesis 2015

Horeman, T. (author)In laparoscopic surgery, special instruments with long and slender shafts are inserted through small incisions in the abdominal wall. A laparoscope is used for a clear vision inside the inflated abdominal cavity while laparoscopic graspers and cutters are used for manipulation of tissue. The use of long instruments makes it difficult to “feel”...doctoral thesis 2014

Van Hove, P.D. (author)The objective of this thesis is to improve laparoscopic surgical skills training and assessment with an emphasis on equipment-related safety and competence. A comparison was made between a hospital and a petrochemical company and showed that employees at the petrochemical company were trained and certified in equipment handling much more...doctoral thesis 2013

Rodrigues, S.P. (author), Ter Kuile, M. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author)This study was conducted to adapt and validate a patient safety (PS) framework for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) as a first step in understanding the clinical relevance of various PS risk factors in MIS. Eight patient safety risk factor domains were identified using frameworks from a systems approach to patient safety. A questionnaire was...journal article 2012

Horeman, T. (author), Rodrigues, S.P. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author), Dankelman, J. (author)Background - To improve endoscopic surgical skills, an increasing number of surgical residents practice on box or virtual reality (VR) trainers. Current training is focused mainly on hand–eye coordination. Training methods that focus on applying the right amount of force are not yet available. Methods - The aim of this project is to develop a...journal article 2011

Buzink, S.N. (author)For patients less invasive image-based procedures (IBP) such as laparoscopy have many benefits in comparison to traditional open surgery, such as less pain, faster recovery, and fewer scars. However, to perform IBP effectively, efficiently, and above all safely, the surgical team is highly dependent on technology. The interaction with the...doctoral thesis 2010

Horeman, T. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author), Dankelman, J. (author)Background - The risk of obtaining a postsurgical infection depends highly on the air quality surrounding the exposed tissue, surgical instruments, and materials. Many isolators for open surgery have been invented to create a contained sterile volume around the exposed tissue. With the use of an isolator, a surgical procedure can be performed...journal article 2010

(author)Background: It is a tacit assumption that clinically based expertise in laparoscopic tissue manipulation entails skilfulness in angled laparoscope navigation. The main objective of this study was to investigate the relation between these skills. To this end, face and construct validity had to be established for the place arrow (PA) and camera...journal article 2009

Pluyter, J.R. (author), Buzink, S.N. (author), Rutkowski, A.F. (author), Jakimowicz, J.J. (author)Background. Surgeons perform complex tasks while exposed to multiple distracting sources that may increase stress in the operating room (e.g., music, conversation, and unadapted use of sophisticated technologies). This study aimed to examine whether such realistic social and technological distracting conditions may influence surgical performance...journal article 2009

Albayrak, A. (author)At several specializations, more often minimal invasive procedures are performed instead of open surgery. Laparoscopy is a minimal invasive technique, which is carried out in the abdominal cavity. In spite of the fact that surgical principles are the same for open and laparoscopic procedures, laparoscopy has changed the way of interaction...doctoral thesis 2008
