our mission

MovieSurg's mission is to provide information on surgical procedures to the general surgical community that includes surgeons, residents, general practitioners and nurses. A survey among those tells us that the best level of education can be reached when the procedure is presented visually . This brought us to the idea to create a website that meets those requirements.
The unique concept of our website is the fact that the educational video is recorded with a helmetcamera. The so called surgeons-point-of-view provides the information just as the surgeon sees it, which makes it more detailed and complete. We are trying to update the information to the latest scientific evidence (if available), which is provided in the first part of each 'chapter'. The information will be provided free of charge.
