Is the routine hysterectomy becoming a thing of the past for prolapse repair?
A growing trend toward uterine preservation is shifting the standard approach to pelvic organ prolapse surgery. In a featured February 2026 American Urological Association AUA News report, Tamar Yacoel, MD FACOG; Ruomei Wu, MD; Katherine Amin, MD; and Raveen Syan, MD from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine outline how surgery is increasingly guided by patient preference and clinical indications rather than routine removal.

Modern procedures: such as laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy and uterosacral ligament suspension: are demonstrating durable anatomical outcomes, reduced blood loss, and shorter operative times. For the surgical team, these preservation strategies demand a high degree of technical precision and clear visualization of complex pelvic anatomy.

Optimal outcomes now rely on shared decision making and evidence based planning. Success in prolapse surgery is no longer defined by the automatic removal of the uterus, but by tailoring the approach to each patient’s unique health needs and long term goals.

What happens when the world’s top facial surgeons gather around one dissection table? This week at the St. Louis School of Medicine, ISAPS Face Masters 2026 has brought together a truly global faculty under the leadership of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Surgeons from across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East are not just presenting slides.

They are dissecting.
Layer by layer. Plane by plane.
Midface. Buccal fat pad. Parotid.

Subplatysmal neck work with real discussion about sequencing and complication management.

Upper face and regenerative strategy grounded in anatomy, not trends.
Every movement in the lab answers the same question.
Can we see better so we can operate better?

Enhanced depth perception through platforms like the AED EndoPro 3D system has supported clarity in complex planes, reinforcing what experienced surgeons already know.

Visualization drives precision.

We are proud to be collaborating with our friends at Marina Medical Instruments throughout the meeting, supporting the refined instrumentation these procedures demand.

When anatomy leads and visualization supports it, surgery gets smarter.

What if the modern operating room began with one surgeon refusing to accept dim light and blurry images?

When George Berci began pushing for better visualization, endoscopy was limited, dark, and often dismissed. Imaging was a constraint. Surgeons adapted to it because they had to.

He believed they deserved better.

His work with the Hopkins rod-lens system increased light transmission dramatically and transformed endoscopy from a novelty into a reliable surgical tool. For the first time, surgeons could see anatomy with clarity instead of approximation.

That shift changed everything.

During his decades at Cedars-Sinai, Berci advanced fiber optic lighting, miniature cameras, and micro-instrumentation. He helped move surgery out of the shadows and into a new era of precision.

So here is the real question.

If we now consider high-definition visualization a basic expectation in the OR, are we continuing to push that standard forward, or simply maintaining it?

The monitors in today’s towers.
The scopes we rely on.
The clarity we take for granted.
They exist because someone challenged what was “good enough.”

Berci’s legacy is not just historical. It is a reminder that better visualization leads to safer surgery, less invasive techniques, and better patient outcomes.

Advanced visualization did not start as a luxury.

It started as a problem someone decided to solve.

What if the only thing standing between your OR and robotic-level 3D vision is a $1.5 million price tag?

The February 2026 feature from the American College of Surgeons in the American College of Surgeons Bulletin makes one point clear. The future of surgery depends on precision, dexterity, and visualization.

Robotics delivers that standard.

But with implementation costs between $1 million and $1.5 million, access remains limited. Many hospitals and surgery centers cannot justify or secure that level of investment, even when their surgeons are ready for the next step forward.

So here is the real question.

If advanced 3D visualization is now considered essential for complex procedures, why should access to that clarity require a robotic platform?

You do not need to replace your entire tower.
You do not need to wait years for capital approval.
You do not need to accept that immersive depth perception is out of reach.

There is a practical path to bringing high-definition 3D visualization into your existing setup today. By upgrading vision rather than infrastructure, you can enhance anatomical clarity, improve depth perception, and operate with greater spatial confidence in complex cases.

This is about giving you the visual precision associated with robotics without forcing a seven-figure system decision.

Advanced visualization should not be reserved for flagship institutions.
It should be accessible to you, your team, and your patients.

As we reflect on the past year, one moment stands out as a meaningful milestone in our continued commitment to advancing surgical visualization.

One year ago, Advanced Endoscopy Devices, Inc. partnered with Hospital Oncológico Dr. Isaac González Martínez to introduce immersive 3D imaging into urologic surgery. In collaboration with Dr. Eduardo I. Canto, we conducted a two-day surgical marathon to evaluate the real-world impact of the AED EndoPro 3D system across complex procedures.

What we observed was more than a technological upgrade. It represented a shift in how surgeons experience anatomy in the operating room.

Across kidney surgeries and delicate tumor resections, the addition of depth perception enhanced visualization, refined surgical movements, and supported greater procedural confidence. The contrast between traditional 2D imaging and immersive 3D clarity reinforced something we have long believed. Precision is not simply about sharper images. It is about empowering better decision-making in critical moments.

This milestone was not just about introducing new technology. It was about partnership, clinical collaboration, and validating innovation where it matters most, in live surgical environments.

For those interested in a deeper look at this experience and its impact, we shared the full story here:
