Comparison of a 3D head-mounted display (HMS-3000MT) and 3D passive polarizing display with 2D technique for first laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair by novice surgeons

ConclusionsThe 3DHMD and 3DPPD systems showed clear improvement in first hernia repair laparoscopy by novice surgeons in terms of surgical performance, as well as visual perception; however, the 3DHMD system was not superior to the 3DPPD system. The reduction in training time for new surgeons is obviously advantageous. In this respect, the 3D equipment may be a worthwhile investment.
