igger isn't always better, but surgery splashed across a
55-inch monitor is simply stunning. Each of the 13 ORs
in our new medical center are 750 square feet of high-
tech, fully integrated glory, custom-designed for
advanced laparoscopy. Talk about a feast for the eyes.
Each room is outfitted with 4 monitors: a pair of 26-inch monitors that
hang on booms around the OR table and 2 55-inch big screens mount-
ed on walls that face the patient's feet and side. Providing our sur-
geons with wide-angle views of clearer, true-to-life images of the sur-
gical field was important, but, as you'll see in these 8 examples, going
big has also helped our entire staff provide better and safer care.
Video monitors are growing in size, capability and clarity —
and providing advantages that extend well beyond what surgeons see.
