They discuss the value of starting with the right camera, the impact of field of view, head-mounted cameras vs. stationary cameras, and the importance of capturing the surgeon’s perspective. Additionally, they explore the educational benefits of recording surgeries, the criteria for selecting an ideal storage solution for recordings, and the future of clinical surgery videos.  

Joel also highlights recent JANS articles on first fully robotic heart transplant in the US performed without opening the patient's chest, defining the optimal diagnosis-to-resection interval to reduce mortality in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, concurrent spread through air spaces in dominant tumors impacts prognosis in synchronous multiple primary lung adenocarcinoma, and the impact of preoperative invasive nodal staging on unexpected mediastinal upstaging in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. 

In addition, Joel explores a robot-assisted intrapericardial pneumonectomy with bronchoplasty and thymic flap post neoadjuvant chemo/IO, insights into various techniques and modifications for the Ross procedure, and an episode of The Atrium podcast featuring host Dr. Alice Copperwheat speaking with Dr. Faisal Bakaeen from the Cleveland Clinic on radial artery harvesting.
