Surgical workflow simulation for the design and assessment of operating room setups in orthopedic surgery
Abstract Background The design and internal layout of modern operating rooms (OR) are influencing the surgical team’s collaboration and communication, ergonomics, as well as intraoperative hygiene substantially. Yet, there is no objective method for the assessment and design of operating room setups...
