Heads-up Microscope Systems in Vitreoretinal Surgery

Macular Surgery

Abstract

Advances in digitally assisted vitreoretinal surgery (DAVS) over the last 10 years have allowed vitreoretinal surgeons to operate using systems that incorporate three-dimensional (3-D) heads-up display with integrative camera–microscope and image processing tools to deliver technically advanced surgical visualisation platforms [1, 2]. Examples of 3-D digitally assisted heads-up endoscopic vitreoretinal surgery platforms that have been introduced over the past 2 years are the Ngenuity® 3-D visualisation system from TrueVision Systems and Alcon and the Artevo® 800 3-D HD from Carl Zeiss Meditec [3]. These commercially available technologies can be integrated into other available visualisation systems to offer simultaneous viewing of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT), whilst software allows surgeons to track and customise data parameters in real time such as intraocular pressure, infusion pressure, laser power and flow rates on an overlay to the operating field shown on the heads-up monitor [4–6].
