AED EndoPro® 3D: Transforming Surgical Visualization Across Specialties

In today’s operating rooms, seeing isn’t just believing—it’s everything. Surgeons across gastroenterology, neurosurgery, and urology are discovering that immersive 3D visualization sharpens precision, accelerates learning, and improves outcomes. At the center of this shift is the AED EndoPro® 3D Visualization System, now trusted in leading institutions across North America and beyond.

Leading gastroenterologists in Asia have already experienced the impact of AED EndoPro® 3D. Prof. Ken Ohata, Chief of Endoscopy at NTT Medical Center Tokyo, emphasizes its ability to distinguish layers during complex procedures like Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD), enhancing both accuracy and confidence. Similarly, Dr. Wu Wen Chieh, Chief of Gastroenterology at Yuan-Rung Medical System in Taiwan, relies on AED EndoPro® 3D to identify early cancer lesions swiftly, enabling precise, efficient treatment.

In general surgery, Dr. Wayne Huang of IRCAD-Taiwan highlights the system’s utility for procedures requiring delicate suturing such as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. From training to real-world application, AED EndoPro® 3D is reshaping how surgeons see, interpret, and act on anatomy.

Neurosurgical education has also embraced the system. At the prestigious McMaster MIS Skull Base Course in Canada, senior residents used AED EndoPro® 3D to gain unprecedented clarity on complex skull base anatomy during cadaveric dissections. By providing stereoscopic 3D visualization, the system enhanced depth perception for delicate structures such as the optic nerve and carotid artery, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on surgical practice.

Collaboration with experts like Dr. Kesh Reddy and Dr. Amin Kassam underscored the value of combining mentorship with cutting-edge technology. Participants reported improved surgical confidence and a deeper understanding of intricate anatomy—hallmarks of AED EndoPro® 3D’s impact on neurosurgical training.

AED EndoPro® 3D has proven transformative in real-world surgery as well. At Hospital Oncológico Dr. Isaac González Martínez in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Harvard-trained urologist Dr. Eduardo I. Canto led a two-day surgical marathon using the system. Procedures included multiple TURBTs (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumors), hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy, and ureteroscopy.

The 2025 PNI Pacific Rim Master Class in Santa Monica, California, brought together leading neurosurgeons from around the world to explore advanced endoscopic endonasal and keyhole surgery. AED EndoPro® 3D was a centerpiece of the event, offering true stereoscopic feedback for complex skull base operations, including pituitary and cavernous sinus procedures.

Participants tested the system in live cadaveric labs, experiencing firsthand how improved visualization reduces fatigue, enhances spatial orientation, and refines technique. The combination of global mentorship, hands-on training, and cutting-edge 3D technology reinforced the course’s mission: advancing neurosurgery through collaboration and innovation.

On the West Coast, the 9th Annual Advanced Endoscopic and Endoluminal Surgery Course at USC’s Keck School of Medicine demonstrated AED EndoPro® 3D’s impact on colorectal surgery. Under the guidance of Dr. Sang W. Lee, Chief of Colon and Rectal Surgery, participants explored EMR, ESD, and full-thickness resections with unprecedented anatomical clarity.

The system’s stereoscopic 3D imaging allowed surgeons to appreciate spatial relationships and landmarks in real time, sharpening depth perception and confidence during complex cases. Beyond technical skill, the course emphasized collaborative problem-solving and strategic thinking—demonstrating that AED EndoPro® 3D is as much a teaching tool as it is a surgical instrument.

Across specialties, AED EndoPro® 3D is redefining how surgeons see, learn, and operate. From gastroenterology in Asia, to neurosurgery in Canada and California, to urology in Puerto Rico, the system is delivering sharper detail, safer dissection, and smarter decisions.

By bridging cutting-edge technology with mentorship and real-world application, AED EndoPro® 3D is not just improving surgeries—it’s shaping the next generation of surgical excellence. For surgeons and patients alike, the future is clear, immersive, and three-dimensional.
