“…Interestingly, in the neighbouring field of colposcopy, recorded and live videos can significantly reduce patient anxiety [ 60 – 62 ]. Considering both the available literature and our own experience with surgical-video-mediated patient education, we would argue that the possibility to follow one’s own hysteroscopy live on a screen might improve the interaction between patient and caregivers in many cases, although the choice of whether to look or not should be left to the patient [ 63 , 64 ].…”

This review summarises current understanding and research on the association between anxiety and outpatient hysteroscopy. Women undergoing hysteroscopy suffer from significant levels of anxiety, with repercussions on pain perception, success rates and satisfaction. Using validated tools such as the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI) or the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in the outpatient hysteroscopy setting, average state anxiety scores similar or greater than those measured before more invasive procedures under general anaesthesia have been consistently reported. This clearly suggests a significant gap between our clinical viewpoint of what is “minimally invasive” and patients’ expectations. In spite of its potential role of confounder in studies on pain-reduction interventions, we found that patient anxiety was evaluated in only 9 (13 %) out of a sample of 70 randomised controlled trials on outpatient hysteroscopy published since 1992. Factors such as trait anxiety, age, indication and the efficiency of the clinic can be correlated to state anxiety before hysteroscopy, but more robust data are needed. Promising non-pharmacological interventions to reduce anxiety at hysteroscopy include patient education, communication through traditional or multimedia approaches, interaction and support during the procedure and music listening.

“…In another study, medical photographs were shown to improve understanding of their disease and was able to alter patient behaviour positively in preventing disease [2]. A recent paper looked at whether patients wanted to see video recordings of their operative procedure and almost all patients chose to watch the procedure with 91.9% of them gaining better insight into their condition [3].…”

“…17 We have personally been advocating extensive use of digital video technology during surgery for different purposes, such as training, revalidation, telementoring, and patient education. [18][19][20] Systematic video recording has also been suggested as a tool for quality control in surgery, 21 and it has been shown how such recordings might be useful for accident analysis. 22 Rex et al 23 have recently shown that the performance of colonoscopists might be improved by the awareness of being videorecorded, suggesting a role for systematic video documentation in inducing a positive change of behavior.…”

Conventional audit of surgical records through review of surgical results provides useful knowledge but hardly helps identify the technical reasons lying behind specific outcomes or complications. Surgical teams not only need to know that a complication might happen but also how and when it is most likely to happen. Functional awareness is therefore needed to prevent complications, know how to deal with them, and improve overall surgical performance. The authors wish to argue that the systematic recording and reviewing of surgical videos, a "surgical black box," might improve surgical care, help prevent complications, and allow accident analysis. A possible strategy to test this hypothesis is presented and discussed. Recording and reviewing surgical interventions, apart from helping us achieve functional awareness and increasing the safety profile of our performance, allows us also to effectively share our experience with colleagues. The authors believe that those potential implications make this hypothesis worth testing.
