Abstract
<jats:p>This edition academically systematizes the SCIDP Protocol (Standardized Capture and Image Documentation Protocol) as a technical-operational standardization framework for intraoperative support in video-assisted surgery systems. The work is based on the premise that the contemporary operating room constitutes a highly complex sociotechnical environment, in which patient safety depends not only on clinical skill, but also on the reliability of technological infrastructure, the quality of interprofessional communication, and the traceability of processes. Based on a narrative review of international guidelines, Brazilian regulatory documents, clinical engineering manuals, and peer-reviewed literature on technological failures in minimally invasive surgery, it is shown that the gap between institutional maintenance and real-time technical support remains insufficiently formalized, especially in the Brazilian context. The text proposes that SCIDP be understood as a process technology structured around three pillars: preventive diagnosis, immediate intervention, and multisystem adaptability. In addition to detailing the architecture of video-assisted surgery, the work presents checklist, traceability, training, indicator, pilot-project, and multicenter validation agenda instruments. The quantitative results originally associated with the protocol are retained only as exploratory evidence derived from unpublished operational records and are explicitly distinguished from the consolidated evidence in the literature. It concludes that specialized intraoperative technical support deserves recognition as a component of clinical governance and surgical safety, and that protocols such as SCIDP may contribute to reducing avoidable interruptions, improving documentation, and creating a basis for predictive maintenance and digital surgery.</jats:p>
