● WHAT IS SURGICAL TELESCOPE??
A surgical telescope helps in performing the minimally invasive surgeries successfully.
There are various laparoscopic surgeries which use surgical telescopes for treating and diagnosing the medical condition.
The surgical telescope helps in providing the clear visualization of the infected area which is inside the body.
It is very difficult to have a clear view of the diseased area without surgical telescopes.
A surgical telescope consists of a series or lenses, so that the illuminating light can easily be conveyed and consequently helps in conveying the image successfully.
These surgical telescopes are used in the rigid endoscopic procedures. There are basically two types of surgical telescopes, Rigid Telescopes and Flexible Telescopes.
● THE IMPORTANCE OF SURGICAL TELESCOPES IN HEART SURGERIES
In the surgical procedures of the heart, the use of endoscopy units has been increasing day by day because they help in providing the support of imaging systems through clear images. Due to the increasing popularity of minimally invasive surgical procedures, the surgical telescopes are introduced in open heart surgeries as well for the clear visualization on the surgical monitor and also for performing the surgical procedure effectively and successfully. The surgical telescopes also help in making a recording of the whole surgical procedure for the future purposes. The surgical telescopes are highly demandable due to the increasing application of them in various laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures.
The surgical telescopes offer the guarantee of providing the image with the best quality with the right amount of brightness and detailed features. The combination of surgical telescope with endoscopy HD camera system helps in identifying the finest structures during the open-heart surgery and with the help of that, the surgeons perform the surgical procedure with the maximum level of precision and security. For example, if we talk about the surgical procedure of mitral valve along with video assistance, then a 30-degree scope with the diameter of 10mm or 5 mm is used. Similarly, for the endoscopic procedure of atrial ablations a 0-degree scope with the diameter of 10mm or 5 mm is preferred by the surgeons.
● THE TYPES OF SURGICAL TELESCOPES
There are basically three types of surgical telescopes which are popularly used in minimally invasive surgical procedures. Let’s take a look at them.
❏ 0 Degree Scope (Straight Forward Telescope)
0-degree scope usually has a diameter of 10mm and length 31cm. It helps you in providing an enlarged view of the infected area. This device is autoclavable and has the ability of fiber optic light transmission. The color code of 0-degree scope is green.
❏ 30 Degree Scope (Forward Oblique Telescope)
The 30-degree scope which is also known as Forward Oblique Telescope has a diameter of 10 mm and the length of 31 cm. It provides you a 30-degree enlarged view of the diseased area. This telescope is also autoclavable and fiber optic light transmission. The color code is red.
❏ 45 Degree Telescope
The 45-degree telescopes help in providing the enlarged view of the infected area at an angle of 45 degree. It has a diameter of 10 mm along with the length of 31 cm. This telescope is autoclavable and incorporated with fiber optic light transmission. Black is the code color of the 45-degree telescopes.
