, November 20, 2007 – In
today’s digital operating room, high-definition video technology
is providing clear, brilliant images of anatomy on a spacious display
designed to create the optimal operating environment for the surgeon.
At Kimball Medical Center, the bar for surgical imaging video display
has been raised with the introduction of HD technology into a hospital
operating room. Key advantages of the system — a first for
Ocean County — include high-definition display, excellent
maneuverability and multi-system compatibility.
The hospital’s laparoscopic surgeons are impressed with the
ability to see in greater detail and contrast on the HD surgical
display, according to Geraldine Smith, administrative director of
Surgical Services at Kimball, who notes that the technological advance
was made possible through the support of the hospital’s Foundation.
“The Foundation has been so wonderful, and they continue to
ask us what we need to maintain our O.R. as the most state-of-the-art,”
she says. “They have purchased advanced instrumentation for
minimally invasive surgery and lasers, as well as this HD system,
which in turn has allowed the hospital to recruit highly skilled
thoracic, urological and plastic surgeons.”
For general surgeons Jarrod Kaufman, M.D., and Michael Menack, M.D.,
who recently teamed to remove a gall bladder using a minimally invasive
technique viewed on the HD system, the image is far superior.
“The HD tower adds a level of visualization that really supports
our patient safety and outcome goals,” Dr. Kaufman says. “This
incredibly innovative video system provide precise, lifelike images
and delivers exceptional results that are helping surgical teams
provide the best in patient care.”
