Operating Room Setup and Patient Positioning in MIS

Abstract

AbstractCrucial in any surgery, the performance and the outcome depend not only on the surgeon’s skills and patient preparation but also on the setup of the operating room (OR) and positioning of the patients. In endo-laparoscopic surgery, we work with technology like cameras, monitors, insufflators, energy devices, and more. They are connected and interconnected by several cables and tubings. It is vital for patient’s and OR Staff’s safety that they be easily accessible in a fast and timely manner in case of any emergency or unexpected event. Avoid entangling of cables, or interaction between tubing and cables will make your surgery safer, elegant, and less stressful.
