How can we strengthen the bridge between the medical specialists and the engineers?
All participants
Beforehand participants and faculty prepare 2 questions: “Who are you & personal goals” to be shown with picture.
Prof. dr. Frank Willem Jansen
Due to the signed agreement of the Green Deal 2.0 by care providers, Hospitals have to implement their appointment to reduce their CO2 footprint to a neutral level in 2050. The OR is one of the most polluting areas in Hospitals. How to get a CO2 reduction in the OR and minimize its other pollution (volatile anaesthetics, use of plastic, harmful production processes)? What are the technical challenges. To measure is to know.
Dr. Ir. Tim Horeman (TUDelft)
The discussion to purchase reusable or disposable surgical instruments has probably been settled by circular design of new instruments. However, is that a challenging opportunity? Or fake news?
Dr. John J. van den Dobbelsteen (TUDelft)
Planning of the OR processes is currently still performed by human beings. This is not only an intensive process, but also costly. By implementing new technical features, this process can be automated and optimized. What are the missing links?
Prof. dr. Jenny Dankelman (TUDelft)
SMART technological tools, like iPhones, bring the 3rd world nearer to the developed countries and create chances to implement new surgical techniques as minimally invasive surgery. However, simple and applicable instruments and technologies have to be developed for these countries based on techniques and technologies of the developed countries. How to succeed? Where is the opening to get easier implementation.
Dr. Roy P.J. van den Ende
Different aspects of the use of virtual surgical planning in combination with 3D printing and intraoperative navigation are presented.
All Participants
Meet the experts.
Dr. Alexander L. Vahrmeijer (LUMC)
Development of a pipeline for the introduction new fluorescent agents in image guided surgery.
Prof. dr. Fijs W.B. van Leeuwen (LUMC)
Integration of different surgical guidance technologies allows surgeons to benefit from the best of each individual modality. Are hybrid concepts a logical next step forward in surgery?
