Olympus Release: Calvary North Adelaide First SA Hospital To Offer 3D Surgical Technology

Calvary North Adelaide has become the first hospital in South Australia to offer the latest in 3D laparoscopic imaging technology for keyhole surgery.

The new 3D Technology provides surgeons with depth perception and a precise spatial view of anatomy that cannot be achieved with traditional 2D systems, allowing greater accuracy, speed and precision for keyhole surgery.

Associate Professor Sarah Thompson, Calvary North Adelaide gastrointestinal surgeon, is one of the first to use the new equipment.

“As a surgeon performing complex upper gastrointestinal laparoscopic procedures, the 3D system shortens procedure times and increases spatial awareness, allowing me to see fine detail which is not possible with a 2D system. This latest 3D technology has helped me provide increased precision and better outcomes for my patients,” she said.
