Abstract
Background: Monitors that can provide 2-dimensional (2D) or 3-dimensional (3D) images, as well as high-definition (HD) or 4 K-HD image quality, offer various conveniences to surgeons. While studies comparing 2D and 3D screens exist in the literature, studies are needed to investigate the effects of different monitor sizes on surgical success. This study aimed to examine the impact of screen size on surgical parameters in patients who have undergone a hysterectomy using either a 55-inch or a 27-inch monitor.
Methods: Patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and salpingectomy/salpingo-oophorectomy between May 2022 and July 2023 were retrospectively screened. Two groups were created. GroupA consisted of patients who underwent surgery using a 55-inch (140 cm) monitor with both 2D and 4 K-HD features. GroupB consisted of patients whose surgery was performed using a 27-inch (69 cm) monitor with both 2D and 4 K-HD features. A total of 72 women (n(GroupA) = 36, n(GroupB) = 36) were included in the study.
Results: No statistically significant difference was observed between groups regarding age, number of cesarean sections, or body mass index (p > 0.05). Additionally, no statistically significant difference was found between groups regarding the total surgery duration (GroupA, GroupB; (126.86 ± 50.42), (128.97 ± 44.29), p = 0.851, respectively). When evaluating the percentage decrease in hemoglobin values before and after surgery, no statistically significant difference was observed between groups (GroupA, GroupB; (-0.11 ± 0.06), (-0.11 ± 0.07), p = 0.746, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences between groups regarding hematocrit changes, frequency of intraoperative complications, postoperative infections, the time to first gas passage, and length of hospital stay (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: In laparoscopic monitor systems with 4 K-HD resolution, the screen size, whether 27-inches or 55-inches, may not significantly affect surgical parameters.
