RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To describe our experience using the gyroscopic mouse in digitally assisted vitreoretinal surgery. METHODS: We used a commercially available gyroscopic mouse to control the on-screen cursor of the NGENUITY System for digitally assisted vitreoretinal surgery. The gyroscopic mouse is sealed in a clear sterile plastic bag to allow for intraoperative use. This allowed both the surgeon and assistant to be fully scrubbed while retaining full control of the NGENUITY system's functions. The mouse also allowed the mentor to provide detailed instructions through the on-screen cursor by highlighting important landmarks. CONCLUSION: Using a sterile gyroscopic mouse improved the teaching utility and surgical workflow of digitally assisted vitreoretinal surgery.
