The performance of endoscopic surgery has quickly become widespread as a minimally invasive therapy. However, complications still occur due to technical difficulties. In the present study, we focused on the problem of blind spots, which is one of the several problems that occur during endoscopic surgery and developed "BirdView," a camera system with a wide field of view, with SHARP Corporation.
In the present study, we conducted a clinical trial (Phase I) to confirm the safety and usefulness of the BirdView camera system. We herein report the results.
In this study, surgical adverse events were reported in 2 cases (problems with ileus and urination). There were no cases of device failure, damage to the surrounding organs, or mortality.
We evaluated the safety of the BirdView camera system. We believe that this camera system will contribute to the performance safe endoscopic surgery and the execution of robotic surgery, in which operators do not have the benefit of tactile feedback.
作为一种微创治疗方法，内镜手术的性能迅速普及。然而，由于技术困难，仍会发生并发症。在本研究中，我们专注于一个盲点问题，这是内镜手术过程中发生的几个问题之一，并与 SHARP 公司一起开发了具有宽视野的“BirdView”摄像系统。
在本研究中，我们进行了一项临床试验（I 期），以确认 BirdView 摄像系统的安全性和有用性。现将结果报告如下。
本研究中，有 2 例（肠梗阻和排尿问题）报告了手术不良事件。没有设备故障、周围器官损伤或死亡的病例。
我们评估了 BirdView 摄像系统的安全性。我们相信，该摄像系统将有助于安全实施内镜手术和机器人手术，在这些手术中，操作者无法获得触觉反馈。
