    I walk out the operating room, and immediately go talk with the family. I show them exactly what I did. I bring up the video on my phone and they are just blown away."

    Having the ability to review videos, to assess the videos afterwards, that is how we learn as surgeons, how we can teach others, and how we can share that education with other surgeons.”

    Based on State of Surgery in the U.S. 2024 Report,

    a survey of 1,000 surgeons commissioned by Medtronic.


    Mike Marinaro, Executive Vice President of the  Medical Surgical Portfolio at Medtronic, commented:

    The State of Surgery in the U.S. provides valuable insights into the reality of surgeons’ working lives and is a stark reminder that inefficiencies in the OR are draining their time every day.”


    Vipul Patel, MD, Executive Director of the Society of Robotic Surgery, commented:

    As surgeons, we want to spend our time saving lives, not completing administrative tasks. Inefficient tech puts strain on our surgical teams every day — taking time away from patients and making it harder to deliver the best possible care and training.”


    69% of surgeons say
    they are spending time outside of the hospital completing administrative tasks
    due to outdated technology.

    Mike Marinaro, Executive Vice President of the Medical Surgical Portfolio at Medtronic, commented:

    Surgeons’ time is best spent helping patients [...] To get there, we are working with surgeons to equip them with tools that enhance, rather than limit, their capabilities to make surgery more efficient, connected, and intelligent.”
