Abstract

Background

Laparoscopic surgeons require extended experience of cases to overcome the lack of depth perception on a two-dimensional (2D) display. Although a three-dimensional (3D) display was reported to be useful over two decades ago, 3D systems have not been widely used. Recently, we developed a novel 3D dome-shaped display (3DD) system, CyberDome.

Study design

In the present study, a total of 23 students volunteered. We evaluated the effects of the 3DD system on depth perception and laparoscopic procedures in comparison with the 2D, a conventional 3D (3DP) or the 2D high definition (HD) systems using seven tasks.

Results

The 3DD system significantly improved depth perception and laparoscopic performance compared with the 2D system in six new tasks. We further found that the 3DD system shortened the execution time and reduced the number of errors during suturing and knot tying. The 3DD system also provided more depth perception than the 3DP and 2D HD systems.

Conclusions

The novel 3DD system is a promising tool for providing depth perception with high resolution to laparoscopic surgeons.
