Sapienza University reveals the advantages of the Sony HMS-3000MT viewer in surgery

A study carried out by the Sapienza University of Rome to evaluate the advantages offered by the Sony HMS-3000MT head-mounted display in the field of surgery, reveals the benefits it provides in endoscopic visualization, as well as in the treatment of patients thanks to OLED and 3D technology.

In surgical interventions, the HMS-3000MT viewer Sony improves the surgeon's posture, offers optimal 3D visualization, in both endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery, y, thanks to OLED technology, allows you to view radiology images, as secondary image, in the viewfinder, avoiding distractions. These are some of the benefits seen by professionals at Sapienza University in Rome who have analyzed this head-mounted scope..

This analysis has been part of the Master in Technological Innovations in Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery of the Institute of Orthopedic Traumatology (ICOT) of Rome and for its development all surgical procedures were carried out with the help of Sony 3D technology and the system they were analyzing.

HD 3D visualization in laparoscopy can help identify dissection planes and anatomical structures, providing surgeons with greater visual clarity and effective ergonomic support. The Sony HMS-3000MT device is a personal display system that allows surgeons to view images from 3D and 2D color surgical camera systems.

The system consists of the HMI-3000MT image processing unit, which receives video images from the surgical camera, processes them and sends them to the HMM-3000MT head-mount display, providing stereoscopic viewing.

The screen is adjustable, for added comfort during long periods of operation, and allows a 'downward' visualization of the operated area. Unlike passive 3D systems, Dual screen design uses two independent OLED panels to display independent images for the user's left and right eye. This allows for natural and fluid stereoscopic snapshots, without double image or crossing.

The HMI-3000MT image processing unit supports video input signals in various 3D and 2D formats from surgical camera systems. Video images can be rotated or rotated for a more comfortable viewing angle and video signals can also be transmitted for viewing on an external 3D monitor.. The processing unit can also be connected to a second head-mounted monitor, allowing a second user to view images at the same time.

Less eye and muscle fatigue

According to the opinions of surgeons, on days when a large number of surgical interventions are performed, A system like the HMS-3000MT offers considerable advantages in terms of reducing muscle fatigue and eye wear..

“This system allows the surgeon's posture to be improved during interventions, simplifying operations for the entire surgical team. “3D visual optimization is considerable in both endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery.”, comments Professor Antonio Carbone, director of the Complex Operational Unit of the Department of Urology of the Sapienza University of Rome.

The HMS-3000MT is a product specifically designed to minimize physical effort, improve posture and help reduce eye movement from monitor to patient. It also offers high-quality 3D visualization that represents a major advance in surgical depth of field., maneuverability, image detail and suture times.

“El HMS-3000MT, that uses OLED technology, offers the ability to recognize truly exceptional dissection plans, which allows you to obtain excellent results, especially during interventions aimed at the precise excision of cancerous tumors without damaging healthy tissue in order to preserve important organ and body functions. The ability to view multiple image sources at once and, therefore, view radiology images (as secondary image) on the head-mounted display without distracting from the intervention is another advantage of this technology”, explains Dr. Giovanni Palleschi.

OLED and 3D

In the surgical field, Sony Medical's goal is to provide surgeons with better endoscopic visualization of the inside of the human body, while innovations such as OLED or full 3D medical workflow offer considerable advantages and new techniques to improve patient treatments and care..

3D visualization is one of the advantages of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery that has allowed the evolution of surgical techniques.

However, The financial commitment of purchasing and maintaining a robotic system can be difficult to justify for many hospitals.. The availability of 3D visualization systems such as the Sony HMS-3000MT can be used in many types of laparoscopic surgery and represents a cost-effective and innovative solution..
