Abstract
The operating room is a central unit in the structure of a hospital. It produces high costs, but in turn generates the highest income. The operating room is a very sensitive and thus stressful working environment and requires staff that is highly qualified. As opposed to aviation, for example, the workflow is more individualized, and especially in trauma surgery it is unpredictable because of emergencies. On top of that, un necessary stress can be caused by prolonged delays. Arthroscopy and endoscopy have become standard surgical interventions. Thanks to these techniques several other interventions have become more advanced and less invasive. Classically, arthroscopy and endoscopy are used for the bigger joints and for abdominal interventions, for example, cholecystectomy.
