Current trends and barriers to video management and analytics as a tool for surgeon skilling.

Background: The benefits of intraoperative recording are well published in the literature; however, few studies have identified current practices, barriers, and subsequent solutions. The objective of this study was to better understand surgeon's current practices and perceptions of video management and gather blinded feedback on a new surgical video recording product with the potential to address these barriers effectively.

Methods: A structured questionnaire was used to survey 230 surgeons (general, gynecologic, and urologic) and hospital administrators across the US and Europe regarding their current video recording practices.
