5. • Lapis is a technological platform which implements a
revolutionary system suitable to help and support the
physician during abdominal surgical procedures.
• The main objective is perform more accurate
procedures in less time, using 3D improved clinical
information from CT/MRI or US scans joined with the
reliability of a high quality medical navigation system.
The new device can guide the surgeon in real time
during abdominal procedures, opening a new era in
laparoscopic or echo-guided surgery.
• LAPIS system, developed by MASMEC, is under test in
the abdominal surgery department of Casa Sollievo della
Sofferenza Hospital, under Dr. Matteo Scaramuzzi’s
