Director of Information Technology for the Brazilian Orthopaedic Society and consultant for the Brazilian Shoulder and Elbow Society, Orthopedic surgeon
Dr. Gobbato is passionate about technology. He created and coded his own webpage in 1997 and the first-ever digital apps (3 in total) for orthopaedic surgery in 2009. He believes in an open-source philosophy, sharing his accomplishments and expertise with the 3D-printing and orthopaedic communities.
He has trained many colleagues in 3D preoperative planning, and his projects are related to augmented reality, computer vision diagnostics, and robotics.
Created through community mobilization and maintained by the Evangelical Lutheran Community of Jaraguá do Sul, Jaraguá Hospital has provided hospital medical support since 1926.
Even today it continues to remain a philanthropic hospital maintained by the community and performs free consultations and surgeries in pediatrics and gynecology.
Virtual monitors
The ability to display images from any device in the operating room on virtual monitors that can be placed in the most convenient place within the operating field. This prevents the surgeon from having to look away from or leave the sterile field during surgery.
Speed of setup
At the same time we had the regional block and the general anesthesia. We had, I think, ten minutes to set up everything, and this was the first time we tried using two cameras at once. Configuring everything before the case was no problem and simple to setup.
Screen resolution
I was also worried about the depth of view and how the camera would be, because it's a little bit transparent. But the resolution was amazing. And I don't know what magic do you do, but the virtual screen seems to be higher resolution than the physical screen.
Configuring everything before the case was no problem and simple to setup. I was also worried if there would be any lag due to the streaming, but there was no lag, no lag at all. The image was perfect.
I think we will no longer need physical screens anymore. They are done. My brain is still not there though. I was also always looking for the physical screen in the first five to ten minutes. But then, after ten minutes, I got used to it and you could turn off the physical screen.
fter that, my brain isn’t searching for the physical screen anymore... it's just focused on the surgery. So it's a one time procedure learning curve. It feels totally natural. Very helpful, very neat.
