7th International Workshop, AE-CAI 2012, Held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2012, Nice, France, October 5, 2013, Revised Selected Papers. Minimally invasive surgery became popular as it benefits the patient, reducing pain and allowing better recovery. However, during endoscopy, surgeons face significant technical challenges such as indirect 2-D visualization, restricted field-of-view, lack of brightness, insufficient depth-of-field, distortions, etc. In this paper, we propose a new vision system for laparoscopy. This system consists of two pairs of cameras in stereoscopic conditions directly inserted into the patient through a single standard 10 millimeters diameter trocar and be deployed and fixed into the patient's abdominal cavity. It answers several problems raised by standard endoscopic systems as well as a 3-D virtual environment.
