Systems and methods make use of a view optimizing assembly having a deflector assembly with critical physical, pneumatic, and optical characteristics that make possible intra-operative defogging, surgical debris deflection, and cleaning of a laparoscope lens during minimally invasive surgery, while also maintaining visualization of the surgical site. The view optimizing assembly can incorporate a quick exchange feature, which makes possible a surgical method for maintaining clear visualization that includes the ability to make a quick exchange of laparoscopes having different operating characteristics (e.g., laparoscopes with different tip angles, lengths, or diameters) entirely on the sterile operating field and without interference with the preexisting surgical set-up on the sterile operating field. The view optimizing assembly integrates with the existing suite of minimally invasive instrumentation. It does not interfere with the surgical set-up, and it requires minimal change in the process or practice of a surgical operating room (OR) team.
Linvention concerne des systèmes et procédés utilisant un ensemble doptimisation du champ de vision possédant un déflecteur aux caractéristiques physiques, pneumatiques et optiques critiques permettant un désembuage pendant lintervention, le dégagement des débris de chirurgie, et le nettoyage de la lentille du laparoscope pendant une chirurgie invasive minime, tout en maintenant la visualisation du site chirurgical. Lensemble doptimisation du champ de vision peut intégrer une option de changement rapide, proposant ainsi un procédé chirurgical permettant de maintenir une bonne visualisation comprenant la possibilité de changer rapidement de laparoscopes aux caractéristiques opératoires différentes (par exemple des laparoscopes avec dautres angles de pointe, longueurs ou diamètres) entièrement sur le champ opératoire stérile et sans interférence avec la configuration chirurgicale préexistante sur le champ opératoire stérile. Lensemble doptimisation du champ de vision sintègre dans la panoplie existante dinstruments de chirurgie invasive minimale. Il ne gène pas la configuration chirurgicale et il exige un changement minimal au niveau de la procédure ou de la pratique dune équipe de salle dopération chirurgicale (OR).
