Mobile equipment carts (Figure 3.12) are essential for MIS. A multi‐shelf wheeled cart is a common choice, which contains multiple electrical outlets for the equipment and insulated wheels which fulfill the electrical safety standards for medical equipment. The cart may also accommodate peripheral arms or stands for auxiliary screens and other devices (e.g., touch screen for digital capture or integrated software platforms) and drawers to store accessory instrumentation such as cables, filters, tubing, etc. [1–5, 8]

New hardware and design concepts help organize the OR, keeping flooring free from cables and easing cleaning and sterilization. Ceiling‐mounted movable arms or tracks can conveniently position equipment near the patient while freeing the floor space around the operating table. Ceiling booms can be fixed or movable by means of suspended racks and are highly advantageous in the OR. They provide integrated electrical connection as well as access to gas lines and suction (“air‐pods”), and they provide shelves and drawers. Other less complex ceiling booms support surgical illumination and auxiliary screens, which are standard in modern MIS suites. Disadvantages mainly include cost and specific installation requirements.
