Abstract

This paper addresses the common issue of laparoscopic lens fogging (LLF), which hampers the surgeon's visibility and prolongs procedures. The proposed solution involves an advanced electrical defogging system utilizing a thin, conductive transparent material in different configurations such as circular disk and concentric spiral models. These configurations generate consistent heat on the lens surface, minimizing the temperature difference between the lens and the inside of the body. The ideal results were achieved with a 14-circle ITO model, maintaining a constant 310 K (37°C) on the lens surface. Through detailed simulations and modeling, this research demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed system in maintaining a fog-free lens, ultimately reducing operational delays and enhancing both surgical efficiency and patient safety in laparoscopic procedures.
