King's College Hospital Uses 3D Imaging for Heart Surgery

With the rapid advancement of 3D camera technology, doctors at King’s College Hospital in London have begun exploring using 3D imaging to perform more complex surgeries laparoscopically. Earlier in the year 62-year-old Bruce Fancourt from Kent was told that one of his arteries had become 96% blocked and the only way to repair it was with a bypass operation. A team of NHS hospital cardiothoracic surgeons led by Dr. Ranjit Deshpande used new 3D cameras to see the patient's anatomy in full three dimensions and successfully repair the artery, the first time the technology was used on a heart surgery in the UK.
