A New Dimension in Urologic Surgery: University of Miami Debuts 3D Ureteroscopy

This February, the University of Miami marked a significant milestone in urologic innovation by becoming the first institution in the United States to implement 3D vision technology for ureteroscopy. This clinical breakthrough features the work of Dr. Jonathan Elliott Katz, MD, Assistant Professor of Urology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and a specialist in Endourology and Stone Disease at the Desai Sethi Urology Institute. Dr. Katz continues to push the boundaries of kidney stone management and surgical technology by demonstrating how the integration of true depth perception into the operating room makes complex procedures more intuitive and precise than ever before.

By utilizing the EndoPro 3D platform from Advanced Endoscopy Devices, Dr. Katz has illustrated how immersive visualization transforms the traditional surgical experience. While the procedure requires the use of a specialized console and goggles, the clinical payoff is immediate. Dr. Katz noted that dusting stones with true depth perception provides a level of satisfaction and control that 2D systems simply cannot replicate. In the delicate environment of the urinary tract, the transition to a high-fidelity 3D interface allows for unprecedented navigational clarity and ensures that every laser application is as controlled and efficient as possible.

We are honored to collaborate with Dr. Katz and the University of Miami to power this advancement. This milestone represents more than just a new piece of equipment; it is a testament to the future of surgery where immersive technology and surgical expertise converge to optimize patient outcomes. At Endoscopy Superstore, we remain committed to supporting the pioneers who are redefining the standards of care through smarter, more precise surgical tools.
