title: Recording of surgery with two crane-type tripods and video cameras.
abstract: At medical meetings, a video-recorded surgical procedure can be more persuasive than an oral or poster presentation. Because operating rooms generally have limited space, video setups must be efficient and effective. Patients undergoing hepatectomy and rectal resection were recorded using two sectional crane-type tripods and video cameras placed in different positions. Both small crane-type tripods and video cameras could record surgical procedures from different angles and were easily controlled. Surgical procedures by the surgeon and first assistant were recorded independently. Videotaping surgical procedures with two video cameras can make presentations at medical meetings more effective.
