INTRAOPERATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY

A Sterile System

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas

A practical, sterile system for intraoperative photography by the surgeon has been developed and evaluated in numerous operative procedures. No operative or postoperative complications have occurred. Emphasis is placed on simplicity, speed, and low cost, while high quality photographic results are consistently obtained, even by a surgeon who has no specialized skill as a photographer. Details of the procedure, results, and benefits over conventional systems are presented. The potential impact of widespread use of this system on medical education, research, medical jurisprudence, and other areas is discussed. Photographs of in situ pathologic processes obtained by this system will make documentation more complete when no tissue is submitted for histologic examination or where gross findings and results of microscopic examination are disparate.
