Session Design Submission Review

No

Yes

Across surgical societies, there is a huge interest in surgical videos. This is particularly true as we transition to an increasingly robotic world.  Editing these videos often falls to more junior surgeons. But editing a surgical video is tricky. It requires a keen understanding of the operation, comfort with the available software options, and lots of knowledge about how to make the video maximally interesting to watch while educational. (how much can I speed it up? how and when do I do overlays to point out key anatomy? how do I make the transitions smooth so that it is intuitive to follow every step of the operation? what do I need to include in the case history to make it complete? )  This would be a workshop to help the young surgeons that attend the ASE get started in making successful videos. Great videos have a knock on effect and educate the next generation of surgeons (who are increasingly reliant on them!).

I have a post stock (a young MD from Colombia) who is an absolute rockstar in editing videos. He just won the best video award at MIS week in Orlando. He also won the best video in a competition for the International Laparoscopic Liver Surgery Society (ILLS).  He would be a great young, dynamic, diverse face to share his tips and tricks. If you chose to pursue this idea, I could help you identify some other people who also make great videos to contribute so that there are two or three speakers in the workshop. They could easily generate materials (a brief how I do it guide) that could serve as a take away list of strategies for participants. I think this would be a very well attended session at the ASE specifically thinking of the constituents of the society.

Let me know if you’d like to discuss further. My cell phone is 415–939–5844. If helpful, I would happily forward some of his work
