Summary
A modified GoPro camera with a 25 mm lens offers a cost-effective solution for high-definition surgical videography in oculoplastic and strabismus surgery, enhancing teaching and self-examination.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Surgical Technology
Background:
- Surgical videography aids surgeon self-assessment, trainee education, and case presentations.
- Evaluating cost-effective methods for detailed surgical recording is essential.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess a modified GoPro Hero 4 camera with a 25 mm lens for oculoplastic and strabismus surgery videography.
- To determine its cost-effectiveness and image detail capabilities.
Main Methods:
- A GoPro Hero 4 camera was modified with a Peau Productions SuperMount and 25 mm lens.
- The camera was attached to an overhead surgical light for recording.
Main Results:
- The modified camera captured 1080p video resolution.
- The 25 mm lens provided nine times the magnification of the stock lens without noticeable distortion.
- The total cost was under 600 USD.
Conclusions:
- The adapted GoPro Hero 4 camera provides high-definition, cost-effective, and portable video capture for specialized eye surgeries.
- The 25 mm lens enables detailed videography, improving surgical education and self-review.

Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:
