Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery is now in widespread use in both adult and pediatric patients. Lack of tactile feedback, limited range of motion of the surgical instruments and inability to discern anatomic features and pathological conditions remain major drawbacks to this modality. Infrared technology can assist the surgeon by delineating structures and improving visualization on a real-time basis
