Objective:
To describe our experience developing a standardized workflow for creating high-quality surgical educational videos, highlighting the methods, recording technologies, editing techniques, and pedagogical considerations that optimize their instructional value.
Design:
We outline a structured, reproducible approach to surgical video creation. Additionally, we present a supplementary video that further illustrates this methodology using examples from previously developed content (video 1).
Participants:
Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery faculty, fellows, and general surgery residents collaboratively contributed to case selection, video recording, editing, and refinement of this standardized method for producing surgical educational content.
Conclusion:
A structured and standardized workflow for surgical video creation supports consistent production of clear, concise, and educationally meaningful content. This approach transforms raw operative footage into instructional tools that reinforce procedural understanding and enrich surgical training.
