3D HD Versus 2D HD in Cholecystectomy
3D HD Versus 2D HD in Cholecystectomy
The aim of this study is to compare 3D-laparoscopy versus 2D-laparoscopy with the use of HD
 resolution in cholecystectomy in terms of error rating, performance time and subjective
 assessment.
Conventional laparoscopy can be very challenging, especially with the requirement of
 converting the two-dimensional image of the operating field to a three-dimensional
 perception. This can potentially lead to a detrimental effect on the learning curve as well
 for the feasibility of the operation for the more inexperienced surgeon. In our hospital, the
 high frequency of cholecystectomy serves as a basis for the minimally experienced surgeons to
 explore whether three-dimensional laparoscopy provides a better ability for solving complex
 intraoperative tasks than the conventional laparoscopy.
