Redefining surgical workflow efficiency: evaluation of a novel laparoscopic multi-tool prototype
The prototype was safe, functional, and well-received. While software instability and ergonomic refinements remain necessary, the system demonstrated feasibility for rapid intracorporeal tool switching and showed promise for reducing operative inefficiencies. Further technical development and clinical trials are warranted to establish its clinical and economic value.
