3D and 4K technologies-in the operating room

Thanks to the new Karl Storz laparoscopic tower with 4K and 3D technologies, the surgery of the future will begin in OHMATDYT - new operations that have not been performed before will be introduced here, and traditional operations will be taken to the absolutely new level. This is the latest, most advanced model. Only 6 of them were produced, and one was already installed in the new operating room in OHMATDYT in Lviv.

"The opening of a new operating room equipped with the latest technology means that there will be new operations in OHMATDYT, which we have not done before. Three-dimensional visualization with modern lighting gives us amazing opportunities" - explains the head of the Center for minimally invasive surgery Andrii Dvorakevych.

Laparoscopy 3D is almost like 3D glasses in the cinema, only that it is in the operating room, and here, instead of the film, is the operating field, where surgeons work. As a result, the surgeon sees the most accurate and voluminous image thanks to three-dimensional visualization. Surgeons can work more accurately on small areas and more selectively control complex operations. In addition, 3D laparoscopic operations are faster, and the productivity of the doctor increases by 60-70%. Using 3D visualization in the operating room always involves tasks that are more precise and shorter operation times. Undoubted benefits for patients are reduced risk of blood loss during surgery, reduced risk of infection, less pain, less fear of surgery. The number of days in the hospital is also reduced, and there is practically no trace after the healing of the surgical wound, since laparoscopic operations using 3D and 4K are carried out through incisions with a length of only 0.5-1.5 cm.

From the new operating room, the operation will be broadcasted to a monitor screen in the auditorium, which is located near the new operating room. Everything here is adapted to the functioning of a modern telemedicine center. We will be able to train our young doctors and at the same time learn online from the best surgeons in the world. The operation of a boy with bilateral paralysis of the diaphragm, which no one in Europe performed, OHMATDYT surgeons mastered due to this method – online with their colleagues from the USA.

"Our online operations will be available in Warsaw, New York or Chernivtsi. In addition, we will invite foreign mentors and learn how to perform new operations for the youngest children from leading foreign specialists. We already have such experience in conducting operations with telemedicine and we already have requests from colleagues for such things, "says the doctor.

The first operations in the new operating room will begin soon.
