title: [Voice control of endoscopic instruments by the operator--development and perspectives].
abstract: Present surgical techniques require the intraoperative control of an increasing number of technical devices (i.e. endoscopic surgery, fluoroscopy, laser systems). We present a system that allows direct command of medical devices by voice control. Practical testing of a voice-controlled arthroscopic fluid pump in the OR demonstrated safe and efficient function and a significantly improved control of the pump by the surgeon.
