What Are the Advantages of 3D Laparoscopy?

The laparoscopic minimally invasive approach in the field of hepatic surgery has gained a specific place in daily practice. All types of laparoscopic liver surgery and laparoscopic resections of the liver are supported by Olympus equipment.

Olympus can offer surgeons the best solution to provide the best outcome for the patient. The new Olympus 3D system with 30° image rotation enables the most natural 3D imaging and the most realistic views, allowing surgeons to perform sutures and grasp the dedicated hepatic structures with the highest precision and safety.

Benefits of ENDOEYE Flex 3D for Hepatic Surgery*

• Increased accuracy.
• Improved quality of view leading to a wide and detailed overview of the surgical field.
• Quicker and safer dissection due to improved depth perception.
• Flexible tip allows optimal dissection, identification of structures and better control.
• Increased safety due to the ability of seeing different angles and having an enlarged field of view.

There are a variety of indications for a surgical intervention in gynecology. Most of them, if there is a malignant or benign indication, can be treated through a surgical minimally invasive laparoscopic approach.

Olympus provides gynecologists with a vast variety of innovative minimally invasive solutions and enables high-quality visualization of the operating field.

Benefits of ENDOEYE Flex 3D for Gynecological Surgery*

• 3D camera benefits during gynecological suture.
• Flexible tip helps to overcome the uterine size limits and increase the angle of view and enables different fields of view.
• Easier identification of relationships between different structures also resulting in less complications.
• Easier detection of small vessels to avoid bleeding.
• Improved dissection due to flexible tip in combination with sense of depth.
• 3D allows better manipulation of the tissue.
• Flexible tip for easier approach of the suture.

In the case of malignant diseases on the kidney such as renal cancer either a radical or partial nephrectomy is performed. This can be either performed using an open-surgery or a laparoscopic approach. However, laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has been shown to result in lower morbidity, improving patient recovery ( ¹² ) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy shows equivalent oncological results with both approaches ( ^13,14 ).

Benefits of ENDOEYE FLEX 3D for Laparoscopic* Nephrectomy*

• Enables observation of hidden areas in the anatomy more easily with a greater depth.
• Prevents instrument clashing as the scope can be kept away from the surgeon’s working area.
• Improved orientation and dissection with continuous vertical orientation of the view.
• Easier identification of structures thanks to depth of perception and ability to see rear aspects of any structure without mobilizing it.
• Precise view of anatomy to avoid injuries.
