Videosurgery

Videosurgery uses Mediasite to webcast live surgery. Changes in healthcare in recent years mean surgical students have less of an opportunity to step inside the operating room.

According to Videosurgery, giving surgical students the opportunity to watch live webcasts gives them unprecedented access, lets them appreciate unforeseen complications that may occur and learn from professionals how to react to trauma in real time.

Mediasite allows a large number of viewers to watch the surgery and also comment online. The comments are relayed to the surgeon, who can respond at an appropriate time.

“Mediasite has been an extremely valuable resource of Videosurgery and I envision that it will continue to be so in the future,” said Andrew Renaut, Videosurgery founder, professor and surgeon.
