Purpose
To assess whether the preference of the 3D Heads Up System over the traditional display system increases with time of use.
Setting
Prospective, comparative, single center study was performed, including members of the surgical team of the Clinica de Ojos Tandil.
Methods
The following groups were created, according to their role in the operating room: A. surgeons in-training, B. surgical assistant (technicians) and, C. non-surgeon physicians . Groups A and B were surveyed anonymously about their experience with the 3D head-up system compared to conventional surgical microscopy. Their opinion was obtained using a Liker scale at baseline and two months after. Questions were related about their participation in the surgical procedure according to their roles. Group C were evaluated by the ICO-OSCAR questionnaire baseline (after finishing 16 surgeries) and two months later (after finishing another 16 surgeries).
Results
Results:
Two months after using the equipment, the following opinion was obtained from group A on these questions (some of them were also the same for Group B): Equipment configuration: 3; Ability to follow the surgical process: 5 (Group B: 5); Ability to anticipate the instruments to be needed: 4; Understanding the procedure: 5 (Group B: 5); Ability to ask questions during the procedure: 5 (Group B: 5). Group B had the following different questions: Access to the patient: 3; Ability to perform procedures on the patient: 5.
Regarding surgeons (Group C) the mean ICO-OSCAR results improved with statistically significant difference (p< 0.001). At the beginning the score was 69.7 which was increased to 89.3 two months after. Figure 1
Conclusions
Conclusion:
The surgeon's skills were improved, and the preference of the surgical team, related with the use of the 3D head-up system also improved with the time. Two months after its use and after 32 surgeries, aspects related to the interaction between the surgical team and the patient improved. There was no change in the perception in relation to the configuration of the equipment.
