Image Guided Surgery and Minimal Intervention
The Intervention Centre, Rikshospitalet, Oslo University Hospital
Several new techniques in laparoscopic surgery have been introduced in Norway through this group. Some of the methods are now routine procedures, like laparoscopic pancreas resection, adrenalectomy, nephrectomy and prostatectomy. The group validates new procedures and establishes effective training.
