video tower system.
In today’s digital operating room, high-definition video technology is providing clear, brilliant images of anatomy on a spacious display designed to create the optimal operating environment for the
surgeon.
At Kimball Medical Center, the bar for surgical imaging video display has been raised with the introduction of HD technology into a hospital operating room. Key advantages of the system – a first for
Ocean County – include high-definition display, excellent maneuverability and multi-system compatibility.
The hospital’s laparoscopic surgeons are impressed with the ability to see in greater detail and contrast on the HD surgical display, according to Geraldine Smith, administrative director of Surgical Services at Kimball, who notes that the technological advance was made possible through the support of the hospital’s Foundation.
“The Foundation has been so wonderful, and they continue to ask us what we need to maintain our O.R. as the most state-of-the-
art,” she says. “They have purchased advanced instrumentation for minimally invasive surgery and lasers, as well as this HD system, which in turn has allowed the hospital to recruit highly skilled thoracic, urological and plastic surgeons.”
For general surgeons Jarrod Kaufman, M.D., and Michael Menack, M.D., who recently teamed to remove a gall bladder using a
minimally invasive technique viewed on the HD system, the image is far superior. “The HD tower adds a level of visualization that really supports our patient safety and outcome goals,” Dr. Kaufman says. “This incredibly innovative video system provides precise, lifelike images and delivers exceptional results that are helping surgical
teams provide the best in patient care.”
