Filming surgeries for teaching purposes, publications, and patient records has become
increasingly popular as the systems for digital recording have evolved, becoming high-quality
systems, both smaller and lighter. Digital recording allows long-term storage, retrieval,
and database organization. In addition, sharing digital contents has also become easier
since video sharing sites and social networks make it possible to upload these contents
onto the Internet. We describe a simple and economical system for surgeons to record
surgeries in high definition under sterile conditions without any interference with
the surgeon's line of vision.
