“…Laparoscopic colon resections are in greater demand due to decreased time to return of bowel function and analgesic requirements and improved cosmetic results. (33)(34)(35) In ways similar to colon surgery, laparoscopic surgery is supplanting the open splenectomy for selected patients (36,37). As with laparoscopic colectomies, vessel differentiation and parenchymal assessment during this surgery are key elements.…”

Background-Inherent to minimally invasive procedures are loss of tactile feedback and loss of three dimensional assessment. Tasks such as vessel identification and dissection are not trivial for the inexperienced laparoscopic surgeon. Advanced surgical imaging, such as 3-CCD (charge-coupled device) image enhancement, can be used to assist with these more challenging tasks and, in addition, offers a method to non-invasively monitor tissue oxygenation during surgery.
