The evolution continues It's fair to say that HD has become the standard of care in today's OR. It's the trend toward 3D that really has people talking. That renewed interest is largely attributable to the introduction of robotic surgical systems that enable 3D. When surgeons saw what the robots could do, the market responded, and at least 3 major suppliers now offer dramatically improved 3D systems for minimally invasive procedures compared with what was available in the 1990s. For one thing, surgeons now need only specially designed glasses, instead of bulky, head-mounted displays. Visual quality has also improved.
