Comparison of surgical recordings using cameras with and without laser pointer for focusing in gastrointestinal surgical field in COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical recording has become very important for digestive surgery skill training in the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to high quality recordings, the directions of vantage points are also important. To assist our vantage point for our camera, we frequently use a laser pointer to increase accuracy in the shooting range.

Materials and methods

We recorded surgery more than 2 h with a fixed top-mounted Panasonic HC-V770 camcorder and otherwise with an action-cam Sony FDR. We installed a laser Pointer TaffLED Tactical Red Dot Laser Gun Picatinny Mount Airsoft Rifle HJ 11. We compared focus field video recordings with and without laser pointer guiding. We divided them into four groups: head mounted with, head mounted without, top mounted with and top mounted without.
