Vijayawada Hospital Adds Advanced 4K 3D Laparoscopic System
A government hospital in Vijayawada has received a new surgical camera system.
The system uses very clear 4K images and three-dimensional views.
This can help doctors see body tissues and tiny structures during operations.
It also uses special fluorescence technology to show certain areas in real time.
The technology may help doctors identify lymphatic pathways and sentinel lymph nodes.
This is especially useful in some breast and gynaecological cancer procedures.
Emergency keyhole surgeries will also be offered at the hospital.
Postgraduate students and doctors can learn advanced laparoscopic methods there.
