Abstract
Summary The increasing complexity of Minimally Invasive Therapy and surgery requires the transformation and application of classic systems theory. The basic tools of systems analysis and design are essential to realize technology that functions in a co-ordinated fashion to ensure a safe, smooth and precise execution of interventions or operations on a human being. The paper describes the basic classification of systems and outlines the speculative structure of an MIT Operating System (MITOS) from the medico-technical point of view. Future developments such as remote handled telepresence surgery and CT/MR image-guided surgery are included in the perspective.
