Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical value of 3D high definition(HD) laparoscopy in resection of rectal cancer. Methods Sixty patients from Zhujiang Hospital were selected from May to November, 2013. Thirty of them received rectal cancer resection with 3D HD laparoscopy (3D group) and 30 with 2D HD laparoscopy (2D group).The duration of surgery, intra-operation blood loss, and cost during hospitalization were compared between the two groups. Results The average operation duration of 3D group was 2.4±0.6 h, which was significantly shorter that of 2D group with an average duration of (3.0±0.8)h(P=0.002). The blood loss during operation of the 3D group was (70±14)ml, while for 2D group, it was (80±16)ml, the difference is not significant (P=0.013). For the hospitalization cost, it was (63±12) thousand RMB Yuan for 3D group and (65±13) thousand RMB Yuan for 2D group, there is no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.538). Conclusions 3D HD laparoscopy can provide three-dimensional vision, better sense of depth, thus it can support precise operation and shorten the operation time. Our research indicates that under high-definition 3D vision, surgeons can improve operative ability and surgical skills more quickly.
