Integrating Three-Dimensional Vision in Laparoscopy: The Learning Curve of an Expert

Abstract

Our preliminary experience with 3D laparoscopy was favorable, and we definitely opt for 3D vision in future operations. Nevertheless, current systems are related to several technical limitations that should be addressed to make even more appealing the further development of this technology. Whether the visual comfort offered by 3D vision during laparoscopy can be translated into an improvement in clinical outcomes offered to patients remains to be addressed in the future.
