Abstract

In order to allow patients to recover better and faster, a lot of energy is put into improving surgical techniques. For example, new techniques are being introduced to minimize the size of the incision, such as laparoscopic and robot-assisted operations. However, it takes longer and costs more to perform and teach how to perform surgeries using minimally invasive techniques. The Gynecology and Social Medicine departments of Amsterdam UMC developed the IkHerstel application that guides patients online so that these techniques lead to optimal outcomes.
