title: An integrated system of telemedicine for minimally invasive surgery.
abstract: We have developed a telemedicine project called Telesurgex, which is an integrated information system designed for several hospitals as well as the Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre. The project researches and develops telemedicine systems (both hardware and software) and their contents, ensuring that they are really useful and not just a videoconference with medical topics. Another aim of the project is the improvement of teleteaching systems as applied to medicine, mainly teleteaching of minimally invasive surgical techniques.
