Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing 3D Endovision and 2D UHD- 4K Endovision System in Laparoscopic Hernia and Gallbladder Surgery: Impact on Surgical Performance and Clinical Outcomes

This study is a prospective, single blinded, single centre- randomized controlled trial which aims to compare the error rates and efficiency in doing laparoscopic gall bladder and inguinal hernia surgeries while using 2D and 3D endovision systems respectively.. Primary Objective of the study is to compare the error rates using Technical Skills Checklist in 3 -dimensional (3D) endovision versus ultra-high-definition 4-K endovision system for laparoscopic hernia and gall bladder surgery.. Secondary objectives are to  compare the total time taken as well as the time taken in various phases of the surgery using either 3D or 2D Endovision system by an experienced surgeon (experience of more than 10 cases on either system). We also aim to compare the surgeon satisfaction and workload assessment using SURG-TLX (Surgery task load index) scale for surgery done using 3 -dimensional (3D) endovision versus 2D ultra-high-definition 4-K endovision system. This study includes 144 participants over a duration of 1.5 years. Our study design addresses gaps in generalizability, long-term effects, and economic viability in previously conducted similar studies.
