title: [Uses of endoscopic video-camera in open surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a method to obtain images of open surgery at the lowest possible cost. The images provide useful information for patient records and teaching.
  
  
  METHODS
  We have utilized a submersible endoscopic camera with no special features, close up lenses or automatic focussing device and a color printer.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The quality of the images are similar to those obtained with a more sophisticated video camera. The pictures were processed with a video printer.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We believe that using the endoscopic camera in open surgery is a low-cost alternative to the more sophisticated video camera systems.
