Abstract

The term heads up surgery is derived from the term head up display, which is used in the aviation industry to describe a method of data display at the level of the pilot eyes. During the heads up surgery, the operator performs the procedure observing the microscopic image transmitted from a 3D camera onto a large, flat-screen monitor instead of the direct view through the operating microscope. This makes it possible for any number of students to track the course of the surgery using 3D glasses. Another advantage of this technique is its unique ergonomics. Besides the monitor and the 3D glasses, the 3D visualization system includes a 3D camera and a console with 3D image processing software.
