Video Atlas 

Traditionally, surgeries have always been taught by a pictorial atlas. In the era of minimal access surgery, with the acquisition of surgical videos, surgeries can best be taught by crisply edited teaching videos rather than a pictorial atlas. We first created a DVD atlas of Lap GI Surgeryin 2006 which consisted of 8 DVDs and 42 laparoscopic procedures. These were all high definition videos, professionally edited with audio narration and annotations to show the surgical landmarks and surgical anatomy. Now the time has come to make an online atlas which can be accessed from anywhere, even from a mobile phone, and which can be updated regularly with better and better surgical procedures. Thus, we have completely redefined the “Video Atlas of GI Surgery” which is now being released in 2019 along with the Textbook of Surgical Gastroenterology published by Paras Medical Publishers.

This "Video Atlas of GI Surgery" consists of more than 110 teaching videos, most of them by invited authors who are masters in their field, some of them from outside India whereas mostly contributed by Indian experts. All these videos have been created with a format in mind, starting with the brief understanding of the procedure, the preoperative planning and preparation, OR setup, port placements, operative steps and postoperative recovery. Each of these videos also has a step-by-step learning for better understanding of the procedures, and transition so that a surgeon can go to a particular step directly. Each of these videos also have an audio commentary by the expert showing the important anatomical landmarks and precautions to avoid complications in each procedure. These videos have been edited by professional video editors.

I hope that these teaching videos will be greatly beneficial not only to the young surgeons aspiring to learn new procedures in GI surgery but also to practicing surgeons who wish to brush up their learning before going for a surgical procedure. If this purpose is served, the vision of all our contributors and our video editing team will seem to be fully accomplished.
