Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 25 TSC 607 short lesson, about 20 seconds
White Balance and Defogging
Captions available
The idea
The laparoscopic camera is adjusted before use, and the lens is kept clear during the case.
In practice
White balancing sets the camera's colors correctly; lenses may fog inside the warm body and need defogging so the surgeon can see.
Where people slip
A clear picture is a safety matter, because the surgeon cannot control what cannot be seen.
