Authors' objectives: The purpose of this report is to assess the available evidence on the efficacy, coverage policies and safety aspects related to laparoscopic surgery with 3D monitors for gastroenterological, thoracic, urologic and gynecological conditions.
Authors' recommendations: Little evidence of moderate methodological quality was identified. Although two small randomizedtrials, in a few clinical conditions showed minimal positive differences a surgical times and surgical mistake rate, at present there is not enough evidence favoring three-dimensional imaging through monitors over two-dimensional imaging for the studied indications. The systems are much more expensive than the conventional ones. A larger number of randomized clinical trials are required to complete this technology assessment.
