What camera is used for surgery?

There are several types of cameras used in surgery, but the most commonly used camera in minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopic and robotic surgery, is a high-definition video camera.

This type of camera is small and lightweight, typically about the size of a pen or pencil, and it can be attached to a laparoscope or endoscope. The camera captures high-resolution images of the surgical field and transmits them to a monitor, where the surgeon can view them in real-time.

High-definition video cameras used in surgery have several features, including zoom and focus controls, image stabilization, and adjustable angles. Some cameras are also equipped with advanced imaging technologies, such as fluorescence imaging, which can help the surgeon identify tumors, blood vessels, and other important structures during the surgery.

The use of high-definition video cameras in surgery has greatly improved visualization and precision, and it has enabled many complex procedures to be performed with less invasive techniques.
