the amount of space it occupies in the OR. He
added that he also likes to still use the tradition-
al microscope for suturing, as he finds this is a
slightly better and faster method.

technology for surgical staff. "It's amazing for
scrub techs to be able to see what's going on
and where I am in the case so they can antici-
pate my next move and see what I might need
versus looking at a tiny monitor," he said.
