Abstract
2D/Ultra HD and 3D/Full HD imaging systems can provide surgeons with more accurate and detailed views of the surgical site. We aimed to compare the effects of 2D/Ultra HD and 3D/Full HD laparoscopy systems on laparoscopic suturing skills during total laparoscopic hysterectomy. In this prospective cohort study, patients were recruited from a tertiary hospital, and demographic data and surgical data were recorded. The primary outcome measures were the durations of the total operation and vaginal cuff closure. Secondary outcome measures were colpotomy duration, total number of sutures placed, duration of first, second, third and fourth sutures, mean suturing duration, total operation duration, the surgeon's perception of difficulty during the vaginal cuff suturing and complications. The 3D/Full HD (n = 39) and 2D/Ultra HD (n = 42) groups were compared in terms of age, BMI, number of previous abdominal surgeries, number of previous cesarean sections, and type of delivery were examined. Both groups were considered homogeneous. The 3D/Full HD group was found to be superior in terms of colpotomy duration, duration of the first, second, and third suture, mean suturing duration, vaginal cuff closure duration, and difficulty of use compared to 2D/Ultra HD group (p < 0.05 for all). In conclusion, the use of 3D/Full HD laparoscopy systems can lead to improved surgical outcomes in terms of colpotomy duration, duration of the first, second, and third suture, mean suturing duration, vaginal cuff closure duration, and difficulty of use compared to 2D/Ultra HD systems.
