3D laparoscopy – does improved visualization decrease the learning curve among trainees in advanced procedures?
Kyle G Cologne, MD, Anthony J Senagore, MD Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California Objective of the technology or device: Complex laparoscopic surgery is difficult to master. This is made harder by the fact that one must interpret a 3 dimensional environment on a 2 dimensional viewing screen. It remains unclear… Continue Reading

A Novel Device For Maintaining Clear Optics during Laparoscopic Surgery
Daniel T McKenna, MD, Jennifer Choi, MD, Bruce Robb, MD, Don Selzer, MD, Samer Mattar, MD Indiana University School of Medicine Background: Laparoscopic surgery is plagued by the intermittent coating of the laparoscope lens with blood or fluids. This repetitive and periodic disruption leads to the removal of the laparoscope for cleaning, resulting in temporary… Continue Reading

An Initial Experience with a New Radiofrequency Vessel Sealer in Laparoscopic Liver Resection
Eren Berber, MD Cleveland Clinic Objective: Over the last decade, techniques have been developed for laparoscopic liver resection (LLR). Still, one of the drawbacks is the dependency on multiple different devices for various steps of the procedure. Ideal would be to have a device that could be used to divide and provide hemostasis to the… Continue Reading
