Abstract
We describe a system that displays the abdominal organs in three dimensions during laparoscopy. The system consists of a single-rod-lens endoscope and two integrated microchip cameras. The surgeon has to wear active-liquid-crystal shutter-glasses to obtain a three-dimensional impression during the operation. Improved orientation in the abdominal cavity allows exact handling of surgical instruments. The three-dimensional system permits surgery with more accuracy, speed, dexterity, and safety than conventional two-dimensional systems.
