Laparoscopy enabled the advent of minimally invasive surgery, encompassing many advantages such as smaller surgical wounds, less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays (1,2). However, it also has its unique limitations (3); one of them being loss of depth perception and surgeons need to acquire the psychomotor skills to work with two-dimensional (2D) images. Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy has been introduced to address this issue.

3D imaging techniques were available for many years, but initial data had yet to demonstrate any advantages of the 3D technology over the 2D version. This might be attributed to the suboptimal image quality, poor illumination and high equipment cost with earlier prototypes (4). Recent technological breakthrough in stereoscopy has greatly enhanced the image quality. With high-definition resolution being the new standard, results from earlier tr...
