Excerpt

Since the “laparoscopic revolution,” the quality of an enlarged image on a TV screen in the operating room has become one of the most important factors in mini-invasive surgery [6]. Initially, we were happy with charged-coupled devices (CCDs) as the image sensor in a single-chip camera to create an acceptable image. Soon the three-chip cameras appeared. A few years later, further improvement led to the digitized system available in a single chip and the three-chip mode. A plethora of brands and choices of cameras appeared on the market. …
