Cleveland Clinic Florida has a newly outfitted operating room (OR) for robotic prostate surgeries that increases surgical team coordination and precision. The new OR serves as a training ground for the next generation of surgeons and is the first in Florida and the second in the nation to combine state-of-the-art magnified video projection with a 3-D robotic surgical system.Cleveland Clinic Florida is an academic medical center dedicated to teaching and training the next generation of health care professionals. Its new operating room is equipped with two large 110-inch stereoscopic displays allowing the entire surgical team to view the patient being operated on with the same precision as that seen by the surgeon from the console of the robotic surgical system. The screens display magnified images of the surgical field, enlarging the patient’s anatomical structures and providing accurate depth perception. With the aid of special polarized glasses, the surgical team gains better clarity, brilliant colors and refined details that allow them to better assist the surgeon who can operate with greater precision.
