Technology : The use of tablet computers in surgery has been increasing due to a number of reasons, such as a highly portable build, useful clinical software and wireless connectivity. Tablet computers can be used in surgical consultations, operating theatres, post-operative care and surgical education. Current intra-operative uses are mainly in thoracic, orthopaedic and ophthalmic surgery where it was shown to improve surgical performance and safety. Tablet computers also play a key role in surgical consultation and telerounding via means of videoconferencing. This allows for better communication between doctors and patients and improves care delivery. Furthermore, telerounding can facilitate rapid post-operative review by surgeons, which can increase patient turnover, resulting in financial benefits for the hospital. In addition, virtual dissection software on tablet computers improves surgical anatomy teaching, reduces the need for cadavers and simplifies the process of dissection.

Introduction:  Although videos of surgical procedures are useful as an educational tool, the recording of trauma surgeries in emergency situations is difficult. We describe an inexpensive and practical shooting method using a commercially available head-mounted video camera.
Methods: We used a Contour HD 1080p Camera This small, selfcontained video camera and recording system was originally designed for easy videography of outdoor sports by participants.
Results: We were able to easily make high-quality video recordings of our trauma surgeries, including an emergency room thoracotomy for chest stab wounds and a crush laparoptomy for a severe liver injury. Conclusion: There are currently many options for recording surgery in the field, but the recording device and system should be chosen according to the surgical situation. We consider the use of a helmet-mounted, selfcontained high-definition video camera-recorder to be an inexpensive, quick, and easy method for recording trauma surgeries.

Conclusion: Tablets are remarkably versatile and useful devices with vast potential for applications in various aspects of surgery. The principal features of tablets _ superior portability, technological strengths and wireless connectivity _ open up new doors for advancement of new and existing surgicaltechnologies. This may translate to better patient care, higher hospital income and enhanced surgical training. Further research and innovation is the key to unlocking new prospects for tablets in improving the field of surgery.
