Minimally invasive surgery, Minimally invasive surgery

For minimally invasive surgery, multiple medical devices are needed. Usually these devices are placed on a medical cart. The exact composition of the various devices is determined by the surgical procedure that is carried out with the equipment. Application areas include: Laparoscopy, Orthopaedics, Thoracoscopy, Gynaecology, Urology and Arthroscopy.

For these applications at least a camera, a processor, and a light source is needed. Depending on the surgical procedure, specific equipm...

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery

These images illustrate an arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The surgical screens are positioned in front of the surgeon and surgical assistants, and are at an optimum working distance. With these monitor positions, both the hands and the display are located in the eyeshot at the same time. This optimizes the efficiency and accuracy of the surgeon and minimizes the hazard of a neck injury.

Endoscopic surgery in the upper abdomen

This is an example setup for endoscopic surgery in the upper abdomen, for instance a laparoscopy. The surgical displays are positions in front of the surgeon and the surgical assistants, and positioned in line with the working area.. This is the most optimal screen position where both the hands and the surgical monitor are in the eyeshot at the same time. Both working direction and viewing direction are the same, optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of the surgeon as well as minimizing the ...

Endoscopic surgery in the lower abdomen

This sample setup is an endoscopic surgery in the lower abdomen, such as a hysteroscopy or another gynaecological or urological endoscopic surgery. The surgical monitor is positioned in front of the surgeon and placed at a convenient working distance. This is the most optimal screen position where both his hands and the monitor are located in the eyeshot at the same time. This optimizes the efficiency and accuracy of the surgeon and minimizes the hazard of a neck injury.

Arthroscopic surgery on a knee

The example shown in the images is an arthroscopic surgery on a knee. The surgical display of the arthroscopy cart is located in front of the surgeon and placed as close as possible to his working area. This is the most optimal screen position where both his hands and the surgical monitor are in his eyeshot at the same time. Both working direction and viewing direction are the same, optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of the surgeon as well as minimizing the hazard of a neck injury. If the...

3D stereoscopy for neurosurgery

In this example, a 3D stereoscopy for neurosurgery is shown. The 3D monitor is in front of the surgeon and -for an optimal 3D viewing experience- located at approximately 150cm from the surgeon. This is the best screen position where both his hands and monitor are located in the eyeshot at the same time. This optimizes the efficiency and accuracy of the surgeon and minimizes the hazard of a neck injury.
