Introduction: We present the use of a webcam to replace a laparoscopic tower and allows to dispense of the second operator for training
Objective: Validation of a prototype of the endocamera with an integrated light and original support
Methods: The endocamera was built using a Logitech®webcam, led lights and a 3Dprinted support. Were used in the MT-BOX1training simulator to perform exercises by surgeons gathered according to their experience in MIS
Evaluated with a survey:
Collision between the instruments and the camera
Lighting, focus, contrast,delay, panoramic vision
Range of motion
Results: All of them agreed that it was ergonomic, practical and aesthetically acceptable. There was no vision delay in any exercise and the vision was evaluated as “very good”. Range of motion were similar. All of them emphasized the utility of this to perform exercises without other operator
Conclusion: The endocamera has proved to be a useful tool to perform exercises
Intended audience: Healthcare professionals and clinicians.
Hello, my name is Luca. I'm from Argentina, and I will present the development of an original device that replaced laparoscopic tower in pediatric simulator. Nothing to disclose. Our objective is the pre-validation of the first prototype of the endo camera with an integrated light in a pediatric endo trainer. We needed to become independent of the laparoscopic tower using our low-cost training and said with a self-operated, so we use our standard empty box trainer. But we need a camera with an incorporate light. Without delay, focus 30 degree and mobility. We test a lot of cameras until we found one, and then we intervene it uh by a manufacturer's 3D printer case. To and adding two powerful LED light, which is connected through use of the port to a personal computer. Uh, we also manufactured and printer, a device, a 3D device. To move the camera all around. For the validation, we use the complete set with the empty box and the IPEC bear plates uh for exercise. We did 2 exercise for the validation, the transfer exercise. And intracorporeal knots. To evaluate the camera, our survey include questions about the ergonomic, practicity, light, focus, and thirty-degree vision, mobility, and delay. The trainees were classified in 3 groups according to their previous experience in MIS, in novice, intermediate, and advanced. We had very good results about a static vision, light, moving vision, focus. Uh, we had very good results. They had not delay nor collision between the camera and the instruments. And finally, the positive comments were the self-operated adaptability, originality, and design. And the negative comments were the panoramic vision, case fixation, focus, and zoom because the camera does not have the controllings incorporated, so we need a software to this. Conclusion, the endo camera with integrated light has proved to be a useful tool to perform exercise in a pediatric endo trainers. Thank you.
