Sumario:Avishai D Kruger, 1 Karen Hendler, 2 Joshua M Kruger 2 1Independent Researcher, Modiin, Israel; 2Division of Ophthalmology, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem 91120, IsraelCorrespondence: Joshua M Kruger Email kruger@hadassah.org.ilBackground: Modern surgical microscopes are equipped with video recording and broadcasting capability. We present a simple method for utilizing these systems even in circumstances where the surgeon is operating with surgical loupes.Methods: A divergent lens is suspended immediately below the objective of the microscope, thereby increasing the microscope’s working distance. The microscope can be suspended high above the patient, out of the surgeon’s field of view, yet still provide excellent video recording of the surgical procedure.Results: The technique has been used successfully in over 30 surgical cases.Conclusion: This method offers a simple solution for recording surgical procedures that do not use the operating microscope. The implications are relevant to surgeons who operate with surgical loupes.Keywords: teaching, operating microscope, recording, video, strabismus, oculoplastics
