Introduction
The document discusses the use of wearable surgical lighting, specifically the 'OPELAⅢ', in open surgery within the field of respiratory surgery. It highlights the advantages of using this lighting tool in both small thoracotomy and expanded surgeries.
Specifications and Features
The 'OPELAⅢ' is a wearable surgical light that provides significant illumination in the surgical field, reducing the need for traditional shadowless lamps. It is particularly beneficial in deep surgical areas where conventional lighting may not reach effectively.
Procedures and Applications
The document details the use of 'OPELAⅢ' in hybrid VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery) for left lobectomy and mediastinal malignant tumor resection via median sternotomy. The lighting tool allowed for clear visibility without the need for additional light sources like thoracoscopic cameras or headlamps.
Benefits and Recommendations
The 'OPELAⅢ' offers enhanced visibility, especially in deep surgical areas, by following the surgeon's head movements, thus illuminating the area naturally. This reduces shadows caused by the surgeon's hands or instruments, leading to faster and more efficient surgeries. The document recommends 'OPELAⅢ' for its ability to improve surgical speed and reduce stress during operations.
Conclusion
The use of 'OPELAⅢ' in respiratory surgery is highly beneficial, providing bright and shadow-free illumination that enhances surgical precision and safety. It is recommended for continued use in complex surgeries to improve outcomes.
