Abstract

INTRODUCTIONNew laparoscopic techniques put distance between the surgeon and his patient. PRESENTATION OF CASE3D volume rendered images directly displayed in the da Vinci surgeon's console fill this gap by allowing the surgeon to fully immerse in its intervention. DISCUSSIONDuring the robotic operation the surgeon has a greater control on the procedure because he can stay more focused not being obliged to turn is sight out of his operative field. Moreover, thanks to depth perception of the rendered images he had a precise view of important anatomical structures. CONCLUSIONWe describe our preliminary experience in the quest of computer-assisted robotic surgery.
