Advancements in Minimal Invasive Surgery: The Rise of 3D Video Technology

By Horst-Günter Rau, Andreas Kellerer, and Blanca Schuster

The introduction of minimal-invasive video-assisted surgery has led to the development of numerous technical aids that enable us to perform laparoscopic and thoracoscopic operations today. The current standard of video systems boasts monocular optics with state-of-the-art chips, delivering high-resolution HD image quality.

However, recent advancements have made it possible to integrate two optics into a 10mm instrument, generating a genuine 3D image with binocular vision. It is expected that 3D video technology will trigger a new wave of development in minimal invasive surgery.

The onus is now on surgeons to harness this innovative technology, which has the potential to revolutionize the field of minimal invasive surgery. With its enhanced visualization capabilities, 3D video technology can improve surgical accuracy, reduce complications, and enhance patient outcomes.

For those interested in learning more about the latest advancements in minimal invasive surgery, a comprehensive guide is available. Published by UNI-MED Verlag AG, the book provides in-depth insights into the latest developments and trends in the field.
