124 Countries are represented on the site. I did a brief check to see where the surgeons are located and found some from California, USC and University of California for a couple members. You do need to sign up as a member to view any of the videos or contribute.
You could almost consider this similar to a “YouTube” for surgical procedures. You can also share a Power Point presentation as well as a full video.
There’s also a news section and I found one of the bloggers listed on the blogroll under the news section, Suture for 
a Living, Dr. Ramona Bates, with a link to her blog as well.
You can also join as a visitor but would not be able to contribute videos of course. You can fully search the members and the site does state that advertising and perhaps funding may be added sometime during the course of the next year. At any rate, a potential website for collaborating and sharing surgical procedures, complete with a discussion forum. The site is hosted in the Netherlands. BD
SurgyTec is the first global online surgical community where surgeons can exchange essential knowledge through freely accessible video and slide shows. It facilitates the barrier-free sharing of know-how and skills to the surgical community on all continents, across all surgical and invasive disciplines. The gain by sharing philosophy, which SurgyTec.com is built around, has since the launch of its test site in January already attracted surgeons from all continents exchanging ideas, opinions and experiences.
Many surgeons perform original and high-quality techniques in their operating room and equally many surgeons would like to learn from these new and inspiring techniques. Up till now it was very difficult, time consuming and expensive to take a look in each other’s procedures and share practical knowledge, tips and tricks. We are currently serving over 4000 surgeons from al over the world, which are taking their advantage of our ever-growing library of over 400 procedures in the form of full motion video and PowerPoint.
Surgytec provides a high quality and free solution for this problem. Surgytec is recognized as an trustworthy information supplier by the Health Online Foundation (HON). Get a free membership and start sharing and learning with colleagues from all over the world!
Surgytec is a 100% privately held company. Surgytec is fully financial independent; medical and or pharmaceutical industry have no direct or indirect stake in Surgytec’s funding.
Thank you for the mention.
