The concept
Standard textbooks cannot integrate text, illustration and video clips with the real-life setting during surgical operations. Prof. Markus Maria Heiss, MD, FACS and Carolina Pape-Köhler, MD, PhD from Cologne, Germany, founding members of the webop team, had the vision to improve that situation by providing practical knowledge in a new didactic structure about surgical operations as an online e-learning platform.
The “webop concept”, a novel, intuitive and constantly updated online e-learning platform for surgical operations, was created at the Department of Surgery at Witten/Herdecke University, Germany.
Audience

It is ideal for healthcare professionals, medical students, young residents, attending physicians, consultants and mainly for those preparing for board certification. In each case to update, broarden or deepen their surgical knowledge.
