10 years of “live” otolaryngological surgery in Poznań

Exactly 10 years ago – in October 2009 – the first direct transmission of otolaryngological surgery was carried out in cooperation with the Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology Clinic of the Clinical Hospital. Heliodor Święcicki, Medical University of Karol Marcinkowski in Poznań and the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center.

When and how was the idea born to implement this type of enterprise? Why was PSNC chosen as the technological partner of transmission? The originators talk about it – professor Witold Szyfter from the Clinic of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology and professor Jan Węglarz – then director of PSNC.
