Core Tip
Core Tip: This study explores the clinical application of autostereoscopic 3D laparoscopic systems in radical gastrointestinal cancer surgery. Key findings indicate that these systems demonstrate safety and efficacy comparable to traditional glasses-based 3D systems, with no significant differences in operative time, blood loss, complication rates, or lymph node harvest quality. However, certain challenges remain, including limited advantages for the entire surgical team and technical constraints such as restricted resolution and viewing angles. By identifying these limitations, this study provides valuable insights for improving the design and application of naked-eye 3D technology in minimally invasive gastrointestinal cancer procedures, paving the way for future advancements in surgical practice.
