Connected to an endoscope, the device allows the surgeon to see high-resolution, 3-D images in the patient's abdomen through an optical fiber device.

Laparoscopic surgery is considered to be a less invasive alternative to the forced incision of long lines on the patient. However, it requires special tools, accompanied by an endoscope connected to two-dimensional displays, all of which combine to obscure the vision of the surgeon.

According to Gizmag, the Sony device promises to provide a clearer view, thanks to its biodegradable diodes, which produce high-resolution images for the eyes.

Doctors can optionally convert images from 2-dimensional to 3-dimensional, because the device is also compatible with the two-dimensional endoscope. Surgical x-ray lamps are being launched in Japan and cost about $ 15,300.
