We explored ideas like:
🔹 Using surgical video + outcomes data to understand case difficulty and complication risk
🔹 Augmenting mentorship for early-career OB-GYNs who may have limited operative volume
🔹 Whether video analysis should play a role in credentialing and certification for MIGS

In a recent SDSC Data Science Roundtable with Dr. Jeffrey Lin, we dug into a question we hear often from surgeons and educators alike:
”If surgery already lives on video, why aren’t we using it more effectively to support training, assessment, and patient safety?”
