Summary
This study introduces a simple method to record surgical procedures using surgical loupes, enhancing video documentation capabilities for operations not requiring a traditional operating microscope. The technique successfully recorded over 30 surgical cases.
Area of Science:
- Surgical technology
- Medical imaging
Background:
- Modern surgical microscopes offer video recording and broadcasting.
- A method is presented to enable video recording for surgeons using surgical loupes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a simple solution for video recording surgical procedures performed with surgical loupes.
- To adapt existing surgical microscope systems for use without direct microscope utilization.
Main Methods:
- A divergent lens is attached below the microscope's objective lens.
- This increases the working distance, allowing the microscope to be positioned higher.
- Enables video recording of surgical procedures even when loupes are used.
Main Results:
- The technique was successfully implemented in over 30 surgical cases.
- Excellent video recording of surgical procedures was achieved.
Conclusions:
- A straightforward method for recording surgeries performed with surgical loupes is described.
- This technique is valuable for documenting procedures where operating microscopes are not used.
