THE INTEGRATIVE SURGICAL THEATER: Combining Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography and 3D Digital Visualization for Vitreoretinal Surgery in the DISCOVER Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the feasibility of integrating intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) with a digital visualization platform for vitreoretinal surgery.

Methods

The DISCOVER study is a prospective study examining microscope-integrated intraoperative OCT across multiple prototypes and platforms. For this assessment, a microscope-integrated OCT platform was combined with a three-dimensional (3D) surgical visualization system to allow for digital display of the OCT data stream on the large immersive display. Intraoperative OCT scans were obtained at various surgical milestones that were directly overlaid to the surgical view in a 55-inch passive 3D 4K high-definition display. Surgeon feedback was obtained related to system performance and integration into the surgi
