A study on remote-controlled microscopy for enhanced surgical visualisation: The precision vision digiscope

Abstract

Objective: To assess the Precision Vision Digiscope’s ability to improve surgical visualization, accuracy, and workflow efficiency. Methods: A mixed-methods study incorporating both quantitative metrics intraoperative diagnosis accuracy, procedure time, error rates and qualitative insights surgeon feedback, usability surveys, obtained during simulated and real surgical cases in several neurosurgery departments. Results: The use of Digiscope was characterized by significant improvements in surgical precision, operation time, error rate, and surgeons were pleased with the visualization and ergonomics. Conclusions: Unlike traditional methods of capturing surgical images, the use of remote-controlled microscopy with the Precision Vision Digiscope is shown to dramatically improve surgical visualization and efficiency and suggests further clinical application. More study is needed to determine long-term benefits and wider applicability.
