Advanced interface for the pre-operative planning in pediatric laparoscopy
Lucio Tommaso De Paolis, Giovanni Aloisio · Information Technology Interfaces · 2011
The practice of Minimally Invasive Surgery is becoming more and more widespread and is being adopted as an alternative to the classical procedure. This technique presents some limitations for surgeons. In particular, the lack of depth in perception and the difficulty in estimating the distance of the specific structures in laparoscopic surgery can impose limits to delicate dissection or suturing. The presence of new systems for the pre-operative planning can be very useful to the surgeon.
