A comparison of visual discomfort experienced by surgeons in wireless versus conventional endoscopy in laparoscopic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study was performed to introduce a new wireless endoscopic system. Research and development were based on fifth-generation transmission technology. Eye symptoms and visual discomfort induced by the novel endoscopic system were compared with those induced by the conventional endoscopic system before and during laparoscopic pelvic surgery.

Materials and methods

Twenty surgeons successfully conducted laparoscopic pelvic surgeries using a conventional endoscopic system and a wireless endoscopic system. Subjective and objective data were measured to evaluate visual discomfort before and 2 hours after surgery.

Results

In the conventional endoscopic and wireless endoscopic system groups, no significant differences were found in the presurgical or postsurgical
