(author), Kuijser, P.P. (author)Objectives Orthopaedic surgery is primarily aimed at improving function and pain reduction. Additional integrated care may enhance patient’s participation in sports and work, possibly improving performance of physical activities and quality of life (QoL). We aimed to assess the effectiveness of integrated care among orthopaedic surgery patients....article 2020

(author), Aarts, E.O. (author), Kiliaan, A.J. (author)Introduction Weight loss after bariatric surgery (BS) is often associated with improved cognition and structural brain recovery. However, improved cognition after BS is not always exhibited by patients, in fact, in some cases there is even a decline in cognition. Long-term consequences of BS weight loss, in terms of obesity and related diseases,...article 2019

(author)BACKGROUND: Although prehabilitation programmes for patients undergoing major intra-abdominal cancer surgery have been shown to improve pre-operative physical fitness, the conclusions regarding any postoperative benefits are inconsistent.

(author), Smulders, Y.M. (author)Background and aims Observational studies show a peak incidence of cardiovascular events after major surgery. For example, the risk of myocardial infarction increases 25-fold early after hip replacement. The acuteness of this increased risk suggests abrupt enhancement in plaque vulnerability, which may be related to intra-plaque inflammation,...article 2016

Barth, S.K. (author), Schraagen, J.M.C. (author), Schmettow, M. (author)The aim of this study was to advance the conceptualisation of team adaptation by applying social network analysis (SNA) measures in a field study of a paediatric cardiac surgical team adapting to changes in task complexity and ongoing dynamic complexity. Forty surgical procedures were observed by trained human factors researchers, and...article 2015

Deurloo, J.A. (author), Verkerk, P.H. (author)Objectives: Over the years, there has been much debate about the desirability and efficacy of screening for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. To analyse the current evidence from a public health point of view a renewed evaluation of the literature was performed. Study design: Literature review. Methods: We performed two literature searches: from...article 2015

Schols, R.M. (author), Alic, L. (author), Beets, G.L. (author), Breukink, S.O. (author), Wieringa, F.P. (author), Stassen, L.P.S. (author)In colorectal surgery, detecting ureters and mesenteric arteries is of utmost importance to prevent iatrogenic injury and to facilitate intraoperative decision making. A tool enabling ureter- and artery-specific image enhancement within (and possibly through) surrounding adipose tissue would facilitate this need, especially during laparoscopy....article 2015

Hoogeboom, T.J. (author), Dronkers, J.J. (author), Hulzebos, E.H.J. (author), van Meeteren, N.L.U. (author)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Advances in medical care have led to an increasing elderly population. Elderly individuals should be able to participate in society as long as possible. However, with an increasing age their adaptive capacity gradually decreases, specially before and after major life events (like hospitalization and surgery) making them...article 2014

(author)In comparison to open surgery, endoscopic surgery offers impaired depth perception and narrower field-of-view. To improve depth perception, the Da Vinci robot offers three-dimensional (3-D) video on the console for the surgeon but not for assistants, although both must collaborate. We improved the shared perception of the whole surgical team by...article 2014

Methods: Wide band (440-1830 nm) spectra were collected using an optical fiber probe and spectrometer from freshly explanted, ex vivo, human colonic specimens. These...article 2013

As a first step towards intraoperative image contrast enhancement, we collected and analyzed spectral signatures (350-1830nm) of thyroid, parathyroid and recurrent laryngeal nerve in 10 patients.conference paper 2013

Hogervorst, M.A. (author), Brouwer, A.M. (author), Vos, W.K. (author)We examined to what extent we can distinguish between ‘real-life’ stressed and relaxed participants on the basis of heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV) and skin conductance level (SCL) as measured during rest. Physiological and subjective measures were compared between individuals that were to undergo eye laser surgery and a control...conference paper 2013

(author)Aims: Systemic complications after cardiac surgery are common in heart failure patients. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms, such as a different local inflammatory response of failing hearts, remain in question. This study examines whether failing hearts respond differently to cardioplegic arrest and reperfusion compared with non-failing...article 2013

(author)Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent disease, age being the main risk factor. The age-related accumulation of advanced-glycation-endproducts (AGEs) adversely affects the mechanical and biochemical properties of cartilage. The hypothesis that accumulation of cartilage AGEs in combination with surgically induced damage predisposes to the...article 2012

(author)Compared to open surgery, minimal invasive surgery offers reduced trauma and faster recovery. However, lack of direct view limits space perception. Stereo-endoscopy improves depth perception, but is still restricted to the direct endoscopic field-of-view. We describe a novel technology that reconstructs 3D-panoramas from endoscopic video streams...conference paper 2012

Wieringa, F.P. (author), Bouma, H. (author), Beerlage, H.P. (author)Met de intrede van minimaal invasieve chirurgie werd 3D-zicht minder vanzelfsprekend. Daar komt steeds meer verandering in. In de console van de Da Vinci-robot beschikt de chirurg inmiddels over 3D-zicht, maar de operatieassistenten moeten het nog met tweedimensionaal beeld doen. TNO werkt samen met urologen aan beeldtechnologie waarmee de...article 2012
