In several ways, using the ORBEYE™ in thyroid and parathyroid surgery provides the surgical team with a new and enhanced experience. This includes improved possibility for teaching, surgical ergonomics, and a 4K 3D camera with a powerful magnification system. However, it is not clear if utilization of these features would improve surgical outcomes. Furthermore, the ORBEYE™ lacks incorporation of parathyroid autofluorescence, and the current costs for the system do not facilitate general access to exoscope assisted operations.
