The aim of the TESUS project is to bring together several European university hospitals in a federation as well as a certain number of clinical centers in a network, the purpose of which is the online and offline transmission of surgical procedure imaging and advice. The innovation is threefold: It provides the surgeon with online information, diagnostic and therapeutic tools and expert advice, the need for which might come up before and during surgical procedures, as well as the same services in the context of teaching and training through regular staff. The developed services will be a major contribution to EU-wide standardisation of health care procedures and therapeutic approaches.
