Article Synopsis
- Surgery generates extensive video data that is crucial for research, clinical outcomes, and education, but the entire data lifecycle requires standardized frameworks to ensure quality and compliance with ethical regulations.
- Working groups comprised of clinicians and data experts collaborated to develop structured recommendations across key areas: Data Use, Structure, Exploration, and Governance using a modified Delphi process.
- The consensus offers clear guidelines for standardized surgical video data management, emphasizing transparency, diversity, and attention to legal and ethical issues, aiming to improve data utilization for all stakeholders involved.
Background: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) are rare tumors of the pancreas, typically affecting young women. Resection is the mainstay of treatment but is associated with significant morbidity and potential mortality. We explore the idea that small, localized SPN could be safely observed.

Various recording devices are available for standard operating room camera systems. Some allow for collateral data acquisition including activities of the OR staff, kinematic measurements (motion of surgical instruments), and recording of the endoscopic video streams.

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a quality improvement model that has been successfully applied to eliminate inefficiencies in the business sector but has not yet been widely adopted in medicine. This study investigates the adaptation of LSS to improve operative efficiency for plastic surgery procedures.

Method: Patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed.
