3D imaging technology that provides three-dimensional vision in advanced closed surgeries is performed at Near East University Hospital Yeniboğaziçi


Closed surgeries performed with small incisions at Near East University Hospital Yeniboğaziçi are performed by using 3D technology. 3D imaging technology, which can be used in many branches such as general surgery, thoracic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, gynecology and urology, uses monitors connected to a 3D camera system and special glasses. Thanks to this technology, the risk of complications in surgeries is reduced and the recovery process of patients is accelerated.

3D imaging technology, which started to be used in closed surgeries at Near East University Yeniboğaziçi Hospital, reduces surgical trauma, hospital stay and post-operative pain, and also allows the patient to have a more comfortable treatment process. High-resolution images obtained thanks to monitors and special glasses connected to the 3D camera system make even the most complicated surgeries easier.

In closed surgeries, surgeons commonly use 2D imaging systems. However, 3D imaging methods, which have started to be used with developing technology, provide surgeons with a much more realistic image and reduce the operating time and error rate, especially in complicated procedures. The 3D imaging systems, which have started to be used at Near East University Yeniboğaziçi Hospital, provide surgeons with a safer and more stable operation opportunities at all stages of the surgery, thanks to their command of the anatomy and wide working area provided by the sense of depth they create.

Advantages of 3D imaging systems
The open three-dimensional screen, which is also preferred in surgical robots, allows the surgeon to perform surgeries in harmony with the surgical team by looking at the same screen, rather than at the console. With the system that allows the surgical field to be seen much more clearly, tissues that cannot be seen by the human eye can be seen much more clearly. Apart from the three-dimensional camera and screen, the pneumatic arm, which works like a robot and allows it to respond very sensitively to the surgeon’s commands, also makes the most complex surgeries much easier. With this dominance, the risk of complications is minimized.

Prof. Dr. Aşkın Ali Korkmaz: “Closed surgeries performed with the new three-dimensional screen and pneumatic arm are performed safely”
Near East University Yeniboğaziçi Hospital Chief Physician and Cardiovascular Surgeon Prof. Dr. Aşkın Ali Korkmaz said that technological developments in the field of medicine provide great convenience to surgical branches and that surgeries can be performed more safely through much smaller incisions. Prof. Dr. Korkmaz also stated that closed surgeries with the new system consisting of a three-dimensional camera, screen and pneumatic arm introduced at Near East University Hospital Yeniboğaziçi provide a great advantage in terms of both patient and physician comfort compared to the two-dimensional images provided by classical laparoscopy monitors. Prof. Dr. Aşkın Ali Korkmaz said, “Thanks to the high-resolution imaging feature, quality vision and a sense of depth are obtained during the operation, and operations can be performed with precision. The risk of complications in surgeries decreases and the recovery process of patients accelerates.”
