Zusatztext "This text is very well written and superbly referenced. As such! it is a good text for anyone facing problems relating to the development of equipment relating to minimally invasive surgery. It has some excellent sections that can be used for example in discussions in the design or instrumentation class. It is an excellent reference text for investigators in this area....the first of a Patient Safety series to be published by Erlbaum Press. The series is off to a great start!"—IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine Informationen zum Autor Jenny Dankelman, Cornelis A. Grimbergen, Henk G.
