A new video channel has launched on YouTube with its sights set on the world of surgeons. The idea driving Surgeo Channel is to open a broader, interactive conversation among surgeons, patients, employers, and payers about surgical quality and access to care. The channel will feature original video and audio content. It will also use its playlists to organize content and also pull in related third-party content that highlights specific aspects of surgical care. For example, its Behind the Mask playlist engages surgeons in discussions about standard and new surgical techniques, views of healthcare generally, and how patients can better take care of themselves. Content will be added and  you can subscribe for new videos by clicking on the red subscribe button in the channel. Here are a few examples of what you can find on the Surgeo Channel:
 

Surgical Quality
A urologist and orthopedic surgeon consider the implications of a study of surgical quality conducted by a group of bariatric surgeons. They conclude that nobody knows surgical quality better than other surgeons and that, for now, there is no data driven objective substitute for surgeon opinion about quality.

Online Shopping for Surgery
