Many training institutions in low-income countries do not have the resources to purchase and maintain a clinical-grade endoscopy tower dedicated to the laboratory. This project aimed to create a low-cost endoscope camera system using online-sourced materials to allow the operators to practice endoscopic surgical techniques in a cadaver laboratory setting.
A low-cost endoscope system was created using a 34MP camera with recording capabilities and direct streaming to high-definition multimedia interface in full high resolution, with an adjustable focal length coupler and a light-emitting diode light source. The system cost was $443, as the endoscope and the monitor were already in the laboratory.
The system was successfully employed to practice endoscopic dissections in 3 cadaveric specimens with good visualization of relevant structures.
This article demonstrated how to produce a low-cost endoscope camera system for laboratory training in neuroendoscopy.
许多低收入国家的培训机构没有资源购买和维护专门用于实验室的临床级内镜塔。本项目旨在使用在线资源创建一个低成本的内窥镜摄像系统，以使操作人员能够在尸体实验室环境中练习内镜手术技术。
使用具有记录功能和直接以全高分辨率向高清多媒体接口传输的 34MP 摄像头，以及可调节焦距耦合器和发光二极管光源，创建了一个低成本的内窥镜系统。该系统的成本为 443 美元，因为内窥镜和监视器已经在实验室中。
该系统成功地用于对 3 个尸体标本进行内镜解剖，可很好地观察到相关结构。
本文展示了如何为神经内镜实验室培训制作低成本的内窥镜摄像系统。
