3D (Three Dimensional) Picture in Picture (PIP) HDMI Versus 2D (Two Dimensional) Endoscopic Viewing System in IOL Drop

Abstract

Purpose: Purpose of this study is to compare the use of 2d endoscopic procedure system with 3D-PIP-HDMI Visualization system and evaluate its effect on orientation of the monitor, Loss of hand eyes coordination, Field of view, Error in grasping the IOL due to lack of stereopsis and frequent head turning which is a great problem in using the endoscope in a microsurgical environment as the surgeon has to switch from the microscope ocular view to the endoscope monitor view or vice versa. The aim of the study is to evaluate a novel 3D-PIP-HDMI endoscopic viewing system and observe its role.Material and Methods: Five cases out of 10 (Cases number 1,3,5,7,9) of IOL drop were operated using standard 2D endoscopy system and rest five cases (Cases number 2,4,6,8,10) were operated using 3D-PIP-HDMI endoscopic visualization system. After each procedure, surgeon completed oxford grading assessment of various parameters (Table 1,2).The cases were subjected to statistical analysis.Results: 3D-PIP-HDMI endoscopy viewing system improved the orientation of the video monitor, hand eyes coordination, quality of picture, correct picking up of Dropped IOL, stereopsis in all the cases which was highly statistical significant (P<0.0024).Conclusion: 3D-PIP-HDMI Visualization system provides both the real time 3d videos from endoscope and surgical Microscope which is projected in a single LED, monitor Panel at the same time. It helped us to overcome the limitation related to the standard 2d endoscopy procedures
