Minimal Invasive Surgery provides many benefits for the patient. For the surgeon it requires more complex skills and knowledge to perform a clean and safe operation. Good motor skills are essential for safe surgery and can be obtained through training. We believe that training should take place outside the patient. Here mistakes can be made without any negative consequences, on the contrary, it will contribute to the training process: from our mistakes we learn.
Simulators are known to be expensive and it requires large investment from hospitals. We believe that this should not be the case, every hospital should have modern training facilities at affordable cost. If more hospitals can afford modern training solutions, more lives will be saved.
Therefore our credo is; if you invest in life, life will invest in you.
