The electronic video operative laparoscope.
A new 14-mm electronic video operative laparoscope accommodates a 5-mm operative channel. The video image sensor is located at the distal end of the laparoscope. The image quality is far superior to that of the standard video camera systems that attach to rigid endoscopes. Additional advantages are improved maneuverability, elimination of focusing, superior illumination system, and the capability to interchange with conventional video equipment. This instrument marks the next generation of laparoscopes.
