Modern endoscopes offer the surgeon a limited viewing angle of typically 70 degrees. As a result, doctors can only observe a small segment of their operative area. A panoramic view corresponding to the natural human visual field is missing. An endoscope with a 360-degree view is thus currently being developed in the Endoguide project. With the new endoscope, the surgeon can initially perform an automatic scan function that provides a panoramic view.
