“…Recently, digital devices have become small enough to attach to a surgeon's head, and indeed recorded image quality has been improved. Wearable camcorders were introduced in the market for sports and leisure, but their performance and small size has also made them available in medical fields 8,9) . We used one of these wearable and cheap devices for surgical image recording in traumatic brain injury (TBI), then evaluated its safety and feasibility.…”

Video recording is essential to training and education in the medical field. The recorded videos are used to education. There is less chance of experience in emergent or urgent traumatic brain injury (TBI) surgeries for residents. We used wearable action camcorders for surgical image recording in TBI, then evaluated its safety and feasibility for education. Methods: A wearable action camera was used to record surgical procedures. High-definition (1920×1080 p resolution, 60 frames per sec) quality was set and the camera was attached to the surgeon's head and recorded the view of the surgical field as seen by the surgeon. Burr hole trephination, craniotomy for hematoma removal, and decompressive craniectomy surgeries were recorded. The recorded video clips were stored securely and reviewed. To evaluate the usefulness of the images, we conducted reviews and surveys of the residents. Results: From January 2015 to December 2016, 81 cases of TBI surgery were recorded. Most video clips had a favorable view and image quality. Image distortion by overexposure occurred in 5 cases. Shut down due to misuse of device occurred in 2 cases and the recordings were out of focus in 5 cases. Results of the survey showed that TBI surgical video clips were helpful for understanding the sequence of surgery and sharing the field of view of the main operator. Conclusion: Wearable action camera can be used to record surgical video clips, including TBI surgery, and its videos may be helpful for the training and education of neurosurgery residents.

“…One potential and cost-effective solution is the use of commercially available amateur video systems. Previous studies have detailed the development of do-it-yourself video systems for use in the operating room, 1 whereas more recent studies have explored the utility of using popular “action” cameras such as the Contour helmet camera (Contour LLC, Provo, Utah) 2 , 3 and the GoPro HERO 3 Silver Edition camera (GoPro, Inc., San Mateo, Calif.). 4 Recently, a more advanced GoPro HERO 3+ Black Edition camera (GoPro, Inc.) became available, and the purpose of this study was to examine the utility of this device for high-definition, point-of-view recordings of plastic and reconstructive surgery.…”

Background:Significant improvements can be made in recoding surgical procedures, particularly in capturing high-quality video recordings from the surgeons’ point of view. This study examined the utility of the GoPro HERO 3+ Black Edition camera for high-definition, point-of-view recordings of plastic and reconstructive surgery.Methods:The GoPro HERO 3+ Black Edition camera was head-mounted on the surgeon and oriented to the surgeon’s perspective using the GoPro App. The camera was used to record 4 cases: 2 fat graft procedures and 2 breast reconstructions. During cases 1-3, an assistant remotely controlled the GoPro via the GoPro App. For case 4 the GoPro was linked to a WiFi remote, and controlled by the surgeon.Results:Camera settings for case 1 were as follows: 1080p video resolution; 48 fps; Protune mode on; wide field of view; 16:9 aspect ratio. The lighting contrast due to the overhead lights resulted in limited washout of the video image. Camera settings were adjusted for cases 2-4 to a narrow field of view, which enabled the camera’s automatic white balance to better compensate for bright lights focused on the surgical field. Cases 2-4 captured video sufficient for teaching or presentation purposes.Conclusions:The GoPro HERO 3+ Black Edition camera enables high-quality, cost-effective video recording of plastic and reconstructive surgery procedures. When set to a narrow field of view and automatic white balance, the camera is able to sufficiently compensate for the contrasting light environment of the operating room and capture high-resolution, detailed video.
