Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive solution to overcome many of the fundamental challenges faced by current laparoscopic imaging systems. Our design features multiple tunable-focus microcameras integrated with a surgical port to provide panoramic intra-abdominal visualization with enhanced depth perception. Our system can be optically tuned to focus and zoom in on objects within a range of 3 mm to ∞, with a field of view adjustable between 360 and 1300. Our unique approach also eliminates the requirement of an exclusive imaging port and need for navigation of cameras between ports during surgery.
