Laparoscopic surgery has changed surgical landscape, providing reduced surgical trauma, shorter hospital stays, less postoperative pain and
better outcomes than open surgery. Since its first development in the 90’s, 3D technology applied to laparoscopic surgery has had several technical
improvements and now it represents, together with high definition technology, the best option in minimal invasive digestive surgery, providing shorter
operative times and lower blood loss, making easier to perform surgical tasks both for trainees than for skilled surgeons. It remains a little bit more
expensive than standard 2D laparoscopic devices but even cheaper than robotic equipment.
