Enhanced transanal surgery training through a 4K 3D surgical exoscope: a novel approach for transanal surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Recently, exoscope was introduced as a more ergonomic alternative to microscope, mainly in nerve and spinal surgery. Exoscope use in general surgery is still experimental and just few reports are present in literature. Here, we describe for the first time its application in transanal surgery, specifically during the transanal transection and single-stapled anastomosis in ileal-pouch anal anastomosis.

Methods

After completing the proctectomy and pouch formation laparoscopically, two surgeons performed the transanal transection and single-stapled anastomosis using the vision provided by the ORBEYE™ exoscope system with a 3D 4K orbital camera and a 55-inches 3D screen. The transanal procedure was carried out with the surgeons looking at the 3D screen rather than at the
