OUR STORY

From a CD-based teaching tool to a global learning community

Founded in 2013 by Dr. Deepak Mehta and Dr. Gresham Richter, both surgeons and educators, CSurgeries grew from a simple desire to build a comprehensive, video-based educational tool for surgical trainees. The first version was conceived as a CD-based system.

The team's vision soon expanded. They wanted to democratize surgical education and create a global community of learners. CSurgeries transitioned to a web-based platform, opening the door to an era of collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing unprecedented in surgical teaching. Every case became peer-reviewed, ensuring credibility, validation, and recognition for the surgeons who contributed.

Today, CSurgeries is the leading peer-reviewed surgical video library in the world. Section editors, all practicing surgeons in each specialty, review every submission. The mission hasn't changed: bring the operating room to every surgeon, anywhere.
