A view of the operating field is available to the entire operating room team on a large viewing monitor. The wide angled screen provides the surgical assistant at the patients side with a broad perspective and visualisation of the procedure whilst the surgeon operates seated at a console with the master controls viewing a high definition 3D image inside the patients body.
