Abstract
Intraoperative imaging has immense value for teaching and training surgeons by providing part of a future digital medical record of the patient and supportive evidence of good practice and an open attitude to patient safety. We report a case in which intraoperative video recording of an operation allowed us, after an incorrect count, to confidently assert that there was no equipment left behind in the patient.
