The OR black box in urology: A survey on patient acceptance and confidence in AI-assisted surgery
Objectives This study aims to assess patient acceptance of intraoperative video recording with Operating Room (OR) black box technology, characterise consent conditions and use-case preferences, and identify predictors of patient confidence in artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted surgery in urological patients. Patients and methods This prospective cross-sectional survey was conducted at the urology department of a university hospital from March 2024 to March 2025. Consecutive adults scheduled for elective proc…
In a hospital survey, 96.2% of urological patients consented to operative video storage for OR black box use, and a majority endorsed AI-assisted surgery when governance is transparent.
Confidence in AI for the full procedure was held by only about half of patients (55.2%), and the sample came from one university hospital with mostly male, older patients.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1355 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
