Practice of endoscopic surgery in Europe. Current state
1Department of Surgery, Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
Abstract:
The outcome of a questionnaire designed to determine the current state of endoscopic surgery conducted amongst members of the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) in April to June 1992 is presented. The data received from 266 surgical departments in 26 countries of Europe involved 2,592 staff surgeons of whom 866 practice endoscopic surgery are evaluated. The questionnaire is focused on basic aspects of minimal-access surgery--the motives, the procedures performed, attitudes to training, and different aspects of equipment used. The outcome confirms the presence of a solid beginning for the future development and spread of minimal-access surgery.
