[PMID: 39180564 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-024-07630-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the existing evidence regarding the comparison between 2 and 3D systems in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) in terms of surgical outcomes. METHODS A systematic review of electronic databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science, was conducted to identify relevant studies comparing 2D and 3D systems in TLH. The search employed a combination of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and keywords related to the topic. Studies meeting predefined criteria were included, while case reports and studies not directly comparing 2D and 3D systems were excluded. Two independent reviewers evaluated study eligibility and performed quality assessment. The quantitative synthesis was conducted using meta-analysis techniques. RESULTS A statistically significant longer operation time in the 2D group compared to the 3D group (7 studies, mean difference [MD]: 13.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] 9.35-18.00, I2 = 16%). However, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups in terms of vaginal cuff closure time (2 studies, MD: 3.22, CI - 6.58-13.02, I2 = 96%), complication rate (7 studies, odds ratio [OD]: 1.74, CI 0.70-4.30, I2 = 0%), blood loss (3 studies, MD: 2.92, CI - 15.44-21.28, I2 = 0%), and Hb drop (3 studies, MD: 0.17, CI - 0.08-0.42, I2 = 1%). CONCLUSION Our results revealed a significant difference favoring 3D systems in operation time, while clinical outcomes between the two systems were found to be comparable in TLH. However, further research, particularly prospective studies with larger cohorts and longer-term follow-up, along with economic analyses, is needed to provide clinicians and healthcare decision-makers with essential guidance for practice and resource allocation.

J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2023; 49:1028-1035. [PMID: 36535541 DOI: 10.1111/jog.15524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
AIM The gold standard to treat an apical pelvic organ prolapse is the abdominal route via a sacrocolpopexy, which is also reproduced by laparoscopic route. A laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy however, requires surgical expertise. Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy has been developed to overcome the lack of depth perception, that is a known disadvantage of conventional two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopy. This procedure can accelerate the learning curve and optimize the intra-, peri-, and postoperative outcomes. This study aims to compare 3D laparoscopy to traditional 2D laparoscopy for sacrocolpopexy. METHODS Data from 132 patients who underwent a sacrocolpopexy with 2D or 3D laparoscopy in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University, between June 2012 and September 2021, were collected retrospectively. Seventy-one laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy operations in 2D (n = 23) and 3D (n = 48) group were reviewed and compared regarding the duration of surgery, blood loss and the length of hospital admission as primary objectives. RESULTS There were no differences in the baseline demographics between the two groups. The estimated blood loss (1.0 (±0.6) g/dL vs 1.7 (±1.0) g/dL, p = 0.010), and duration of surgery (115.4 (±34.7) min. vs 134.7 (±26.2) min., p = 0.012) was significantly better in favor of 3D laparoscopy. The length of hospital stay was comparable in both groups (p = 0.833). Furthermore, no differences were observed between the groups regarding other surgical outcomes. CONCLUSION 3D laparoscopy shows a significant benefit in terms of estimated blood loss and surgery duration among complex urogynecological surgeries compared to traditional 2D laparoscopy.

Safety of Three-Dimensional versus Two-Dimensional Laparoscopic Hysterectomy during the COVID-19 Pandemic. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:14163. [PMID: 36361054 PMCID: PMC9654606 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192114163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant decrease in the number of surgical procedures performed. Therefore, it is important to use surgical methods that carry the lowest possible risk of virus transmission between the patient and the operating theater staff. AIM Safety evaluation of three-dimensional (3D) versus two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic hysterectomy during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS 44 patients were assigned to a prospective case-control study. They were divided either to 3D (n = 22) or 2D laparoscopic hysterectomy (n = 22). Fourteen laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomies (LASH) and eight total laparoscopic hysterectomies (TLH) were performed in every group. The demographic data, operating time, change in patients' hemoglobin level and other surgical outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS 3D laparoscopy was associated with a significantly shorter operating time than 2D. (3D vs. 2D LASH 70 ± 23 min vs. 90 ± 20 min, p = 0.0086; 3D vs. 2D TLH 72 ± 9 min vs. 85 ± 9 min, p = 0.0089). The 3D and 2D groups were not significantly different in terms of change in serum hemoglobin level and other surgical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Due to a shorter operating time, 3D laparoscopic hysterectomy seems to be a safer method both for both the surgeon and the patient. Regarding terms of possible virus transmission, it may be particularly considered the first-choice method during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating room time savings in Germany- and UK-based hospitals with 3D- VS. 2D-imaging technology in laparoscopic surgery: Meta analysis and budget impact model - Health economic evaluation. Int J Surg 2022; 102:106643. [PMID: 35490950 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2022.106643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Opportunity cost (OC) analysis is key when evaluating surgical techniques. Operating room (OR) time is one potential source of OC in laparoscopic surgery. This study quantifies differences in OR time between 3D- and 2D-imaging technology in laparoscopic surgery, translates these into OC and models the economic impact in real-world hospitals. METHODS First a systematically performed literature review and meta-analysis were conducted. Then, methods to translate OR time savings into OC were theorised and a budget impact model was created. After that, the potential time savings of real-world hospital case mixes were extrapolated. Finally, the opportunity costs of not using 3D-imaging in laparoscopic surgery were evaluated. RESULTS Average OR time saving per laparoscopic procedure was -19.4 min (-24.3; -14.5) (-14%) in favour of 3D. The Budget Impact Model demonstrated an economic impact of using 3D-laparoscopy instead of 2D laparoscopy, ranging from £183,045-£866,316 in the British and 73,049€-437,829€ in German hospitals, modelling a mixture of cost savings and performing additional procedures (earning additional revenue). CONCLUSION The OC analysis revealed significant economic benefits of introducing 3D-imaging technology in laparoscopic surgery, on the basis that average procedure time is reduced. Utilising the saved OR time to perform additional procedures was the biggest driver of OC. Hospital case mix and procedure volume indicated the magnitude of the OC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes of three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic myomectomy. STUDY DESIGN A total of 64 patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids were randomly assigned to either the 3D (n = 32) group or the 2D group (n = 32). The primary outcomes were the operative blood loss and change in hemoglobin levels. The secondary outcome was operative time. RESULTS There were no differences in the baseline demographics between the two groups. The 3D and 2D groups were not significantly different in terms of operative blood loss (129.5 ± 86.5 mL vs. 140.9 ± 89.8 mL, P = 0.412), change in serum hemoglobin levels (1.4 ± 1.6 g/dL vs. 1.6 ± 1.6 g/dL, P = 0.553), and operative time (77.4 ± 37.8 min vs. 82.4 ± 35.4 min, P = 0.344). Furthermore, no differences were observed between the groups with regard to other surgical outcomes. CONCLUSION The 3D imaging system had no additional surgical benefit in laparoscopic myomectomy compared with to the conventional 2D imaging system.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic surgery for total extraperitoneal (TEP) primary inguinal hernia repair. Methods This was a single-center, retrospective, observational database study of 38 patients who underwent laparoscopic TEP inguinal hernia repair from March 1, 2019 to August 30, 2019 at Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong in Seoul, Korea. Results There was no significant difference in sex ratio, age, or body mass index between the two groups. The 2D group had two patients with direct hernia and 18 patients with indirect hernia. The 3D group had five patients with direct hernia, 11 patients with indirect hernia, and two patients with femoral hernia. The mean operation time was 38.2 minutes in the 2D group compared with 37.2 minutes in the 3D group. There was no severe intraoperative bleeding in either group. During the operation, peritoneal tearing occurred in 12 out of 20 patients in the 2D group compared with five out of 18 patients in the 3D group (p = 0.02). The average length of hospital stay was 1.3 days in both groups. The numeric rating scale score was 3.3 and 3 in the 2D group and the 3D group, respectively. In the 2D group, two patients revisited the outpatient clinic because of the postoperative occurrence of seroma and varicocele. Conclusion A 3D laparoscopic surgery is feasible and safe for inguinal hernia repair and showed less peritoneal tearing compared with 2D laparoscopic surgery for primary inguinal hernia repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has been increasingly used, but many reports have stated that recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy after MIE is a major complication associated with postoperative pneumonia. Prevention of RLN palsy clearly has been a challenging task. The study aim was to determine if a three-dimensional (3-D) stereoscopic vision system can reduce the RLN palsy rate after MIE. METHODS This was a retrospective study of MIE (McKeown esophagectomy) using a 3-D or 2-D stereoscopic vision system to treat 358 patients in the prone position between April 2010 and March 2019. The patients who underwent 3-D MIE (3-D group) or 2-D MIE (2-D group) were matched by using propensity score matching. After matching, the perioperative outcomes were compared between the groups. RESULTS After propensity score matching, 154 patients were analyzed (77 patients, 3-D group; 77 patients, 2-D group). There were no significant differences in the patients' baseline characteristics in the matched cohort. There were no significant differences in the rates of pneumonia (Clavien-Dindo (C-D) grade ≥ II, 3-D vs. 2-D, 11 (14%) vs. 12 (16%)), anastomotic leakage (C-D grade ≥ II, 10 (13%) vs. 18 (23%)) and mortality. The rates of left RLN palsy (C-D grade ≥ IIIa, 1 (1.3%) vs. 7 (9.1%), P = 0.029), right RLN palsy (C-D grade ≥ I, 2 (3%) vs. 8 (10%), P = 0.049), comprehensive complication index (CCI®) (8.5 vs. 14.3, P = 0.011), and postoperative hospital stay period (median: 25 vs. 30 days, P = 0.034) were significantly lower in the 3-D group than in the 2-D group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In MIE, the 3-D viewing system was one of the factors that reduced postoperative morbidities such as the rates of each RLN palsy and CCI®, leading to shorter postoperative hospital stay.

Abstract
Background: Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) carried out synchronously with laparoscopy is a useful surgical technique in rectal cancer patients who are overweight or who have a narrow pelvis. This retrospective study aims to compare the safety and efficacy of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic TaTME of rectal cancer based on the short-term postoperative and oncological outcomes of 40 patients in Singapore who underwent laparoscopic TaTME. Materials and Methods: Forty patients underwent laparoscopic TaTME for rectal cancer in one of three centers in Singapore from October 2015 to August 2018. Out of these patients, 23 underwent 3D laparoscopic TaTME with the Olympus Flexible Tip™ 10 mm scope. Data on patient demographics, operative details, and postoperative and oncological outcomes were collected retrospectively by going through soft copy patient records, analyzed and compared. Results: The operative time for 3D group was significantly shorter (340 versus 419 minutes, P = .04). Complete TME grade and R0 resection was achieved in a higher percentage of patients in the 3D group although this was not statistically significant. There were no other significant differences between the two groups in terms of oncological outcomes and other short-term postoperative outcomes. Discussion and Conclusion: TaTME is overall a safe technique. Three-dimensional TaTME for rectal cancers is as safe and feasible as 2D TaTME, with the advantage of a shorter operative time.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Errors and adverse events occur frequently in health care. Three-dimensional (3-D) laparoscopic systems claim to provide more realistic depth perception and better spatial orientation compared with their 2-D counterparts. OBJECTIVE To compare the association of 3-D vs 2-D systems with technical performance during laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) procedures using a multiport intraoperative data capture system. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study was performed between May and December 2018, with a total of 50 LRYGB procedures performed in an academic tertiary care center; recordings of the operations were evaluated with a 30-day follow-up. All procedures were performed by the same surgical team. EXPOSURE Surgical teams used 2-D or 3-D laparoscopic systems. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Technical performance was evaluated using the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill and surgical errors and events using the Generic Error Rating Tool. RESULTS Of the 50 patients who underwent LRYGB procedures, 42 (86%) were women, with a median (interquartile range) age of 42 (35-47) years and a median (interquartile range) body mass index of 46 (42-48), with no significant demographic differences between the groups whose operations were performed using the 2-D and 3-D systems. The mean (SD) number of errors per case was significantly lower in procedures using the 3-D laparoscopic system than in those using the 2-D system (17 [6] vs 33 [2]; P < .001). The mean (SD) number of error-related events was significantly lower in procedures using the 3-D system than in those using the 2-D system (6 [2] vs 11 [4]; P < .001). Mean (SD) Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill scores were significantly higher when the 3-D system was used than when the 2-D system was used (28 [4] vs 22 [3]; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this limited sample of LRYGB procedures, the use of a 3-D laparoscopic system was associated with a statistically significant reduction in errors and events as well as higher Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill scores compared with 2-D systems.

Abstract
Laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer is now widely accepted and has become a standard surgery. This study investigated the advantages of three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic visualization for laparoscopic gastrectomy over a conventional two-dimensional (2D) planar screen. The primary outcome of this study was operative time. Ninety-four consecutive cases of gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) (25 cases) or laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) (69 cases) were enrolled in this study before and after the introduction of the 3D system. Operative time was significantly shorter in the 3D groups for both LTG (351 vs. 406 min, P = 0.026) and LDG (269 vs. 344 min, P < 0.01). During intracorporeal procedures, dissection time was significantly shorter in the 3D groups for both LTG (183 vs. 232 min, P = 0.011) and LDG (161 vs. 213 min, P < 0.01), although the time needed for anastomosis was similar between the groups. However, operators preferred intracorporeal knot-tying as a ligature for anastomosis under 3D (LTG, P = 0.012; LDG, P < 0.01). These data suggest that 3D stereoscopic visualization shortens the operative time of laparoscopic gastrectomy by reducing the intracorporeal dissection time.
