Comparison of 2D 4K vs. 3D HD laparoscopic imaging systems in bariatric surgery: study protocol for a randomized controlled prospective trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vision is an important and defining element of laparoscopy and significantly affects the outcome of surgery in terms of time, error, and precision. Several new imaging systems have become available for laparoscopic surgery, including three-dimensional (3D) high-definition (HD) and two-dimensional (2D) ultra-high-resolution (4K) monitors. 3D HD systems offer a number of potential benefits to surgeons and patients over traditional 2D systems, including reduced operating time, blood loss, and hospital stay. However, the performance of 3D systems against the new, ultra-high definition 4K systems is barely known and highly controversial. There is a paucity of studies comparing them in clinical settings. The aim of this study is to compare 2D 4K and 3D HD perspectives in gastr
