Three-dimensional imaging improved the laparoscopic performance of inexperienced operators: a prospective trial

Three-dimensional (3-D) high-definition (HD) stereovision and two-dimensional (2-D) ultra-high-resolution (4K) monitors have recently become available for laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this study was to compare laparoscopic performance between inexperienced participants using 3-D/HD and 2-D/4K monitors and those using conventional 2-D/HD monitors. The study enrolled 66 participants with no previous surgical experience or medical training....
