Hikimaging ISP2.5 image processing algorithm provides superior visual support for minimally invasive thyroid surgery

This case demonstrates a minimally invasive thyroidectomy via the axillary approach. Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is the most common intraoperative injury during thyroidectomy. Surgeons must meticulously dissect and clearly identify the course of the recurrent laryngeal nerve before proceeding with the thyroidectomy. Hikvision’s newly launched ISP2.5 image processing algorithm provides reliable visual assurance for the surgical procedure through superior intraoperative color reproduction and image quality.

The video shows that before dissecting the recurrent laryngeal nerve, as the instruments approach the nerve area, the ISP2.5 algorithm can clearly present the capillary structure on the nerve surface through the translucent connective tissue, helping the surgeon to predict the nerve’s course in advance and better protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

After completing the nerve dissection, the white recurrent laryngeal nerve and the red capillaries attached to it form a sharp contrast in the surgical field. The superior color reproduction and high-definition image quality provided by the ISP2.5 algorithm safeguard the recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroidectomy.
