Abstract

Purpose : One realm where intraoperative video creates a meaningful impact is in physician education. Currently, video recording for intraocular surgery is readily available; however, few systems exist, especially at low cost, that provide the ability to record oculoplastic surgeries. Therefore we designed and developed a low cost intraoperative recording system - Oculoplastic Flexible Arm Recording System (OFARS).

Methods : The OFARS utilizes a combination of off the shelf products and 3D printed components to attach a smartphone to a surgical bed and position it above the patient’s face outside of the surgical field. The unit consists of an off the shelf boom arm, a 3D printed stabilizer, two flexible gooseneck neck sections, a 3D printed extender, and a phone clamp. The smartphone is positioned at a distance of approximately 3 feet. The base utilizes a screw clamp and a 3D printed stabilizer to secure the boom arm to the surgical bed to ensure stability despite patient movement and bed repositioning.The 3D printed components were designed in Fusion 360 and printed on a Prusa MK3S using black Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG). The total cost of production for the OFARS system was less than $50.

Results : The device was used to record multiple surgeries and produced a favorable top-down recording angle. Multiple factors were considered when designing the system including steadiness, proximity to the surgical field, appropriate recording angle, and applicability to multiple operating rooms.

Conclusions : We demonstrate successful production and deployment of a low cost intraoperative recording system with wide applicability within the field of oculoplastic and facial surgery. The OFARS system has proved its utility in real world operational settings. Not only does this system have the potential to improve education at a low cost but also removes the issue of outdated video cameras. Furthermore the OFARS is a recording solution that can be used with a variety of smartphones.
