Article Types

Articles present descriptions of clinical or surgical procedures through full-length, narrated technical videos accompanied by detailed manuscripts and oftentimes an animation representation. Each article aims to cover all aspects of a procedure, covering details such as patient selection, preoperative planning, operative technique, intraoperative decision-making, technical considerations, and postoperative management. These video articles intend to provide a comprehensive record of contemporary surgical practice that supports clinical reference, technical standardization, and scholarly communication.

Articles present the essential practices that support the safe and effective delivery of surgical care before, during, and immediately following operative intervention. Topics include operating room setup, sterile field preparation and maintenance, instrumentation selection and preparation, equipment configuration, perioperative protocols, and multidisciplinary operating room practices. These articles emphasize evidence-based principles, standardized techniques, and procedural best practices that optimize surgical efficiency, patient safety, and team performance.

Articles utilize human cadaveric dissection to examine clinically relevant anatomy, surgical approaches, and operative techniques. These articles provide detailed anatomical demonstrations or procedural simulations occurring outside the strict environment of the operating room, facilitating a deeper understanding of surgical anatomy, anatomical variation, operative exposure, and technical execution. Cadaveric investigations serve as an important scholarly resource for surgical education, procedural development, and anatomical research.
