Three-dimensional images are beneficial in surgery primarily because they provide a better visual understanding of the operative site. This enhanced visual perspective allows surgeons to see anatomical structures in a more realistic way, helping them to assess spatial relationships and orientations that are crucial for effective surgical decision-making. When surgeons have a clear, three-dimensional view, they can better navigate complex anatomical regions, which potentially leads to improved precision in surgical maneuvers and outcome. The ability to visualize depth and contour in surgery can help in identifying structures that may not be as easily distinguishable in two-dimensional images. As a result, this capability can improve preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation, thereby enhancing the overall quality of surgical care. This deep understanding directly contributes to the success of a surgical procedure and the safety of the patient.
