Projects in Training, Skill & Performance Assessment in Surgery
The projects of the Training, Skill & Performance Assessment in Surgery working group include experimental studies in dry-lab and wet-lab settings as well as translational projects and clinical studies. A modern and extensively equipped research laboratory with dry and wet lab trainers, virtual reality simulators and an experimental operating theatre are available for this purpose.
The fundamental goal of our research is to improve surgical performance in minimally invasive surgery and to develop objectively comparable and efficient training scenarios.
Our research focuses on
- Analysing surgical skills and performance
- Training and developing surgical skills in MIS
- Tissue handling in MIS
- Organ-specific stress tolerance to surgical manipulation
- Clinical studies on laparoscopic and robotic surgery
