SGS Private Video Archive  ·  Intelligent Surgical Learning
epiqar Confidential Concept Brief
Two decades of SGS surgical mastery.
Now instantly intelligent.
A semantic AI intelligence layer built directly on the SGS Private Archive, giving every member the ability to ask a clinical question and receive a precise, cited answer from the surgeon who demonstrated it in their SGS approved video.
Let’s give SGS members the ability to
talk to their videos with AI.

What Meridian AI Does

Every video in the SGS library is already narrated by an expert. Meridian AI indexes those narrations, transcribes them, and exposes them through a natural-language query interface. A member asks a clinical question. The system identifies the most relevant passages across all 912 videos and returns ranked results with timestamp citations and speaker attribution — in seconds.

This is not a keyword search. It understands clinical context.

Example Queries
“Show me approaches to uterosacral ligament suspension after failed sacrocolpopexy.”
“What are the key steps for managing presacral bleeding intraoperatively?”
Accelerates Four of SGS’s Five Strategic Pillars
Membership

A technology-forward benefit that compounds in value as the archive grows.

Education

The society’s own narrated surgical knowledge, accessible to every member at every career stage.

Visibility

An AI platform built on SGS content positions the society as a leader in surgical intelligence, not merely a repository.

Research

Query analytics reveal knowledge gaps, frequently sought techniques, and content priorities for future meetings.

Finance

An editorially governed, ACCME-compliant channel: industry partners identified in archive videos receive contextual visibility alongside relevant query results.

What a Member Experiences
Member query — natural language
“Show me approaches to uterosacral ligament suspension after failed sacrocolpopexy.”
Meridian AI — synthesised answer
Three distinct approaches appear across the archive. Cadiere et al. (SGS 2017) demonstrate robotic-assisted reattachment at the ischial spine following complete mesh excision. Rardin (SGS 2019) addresses native-tissue repair after abdominal sacrocolpopexy failure. A third technique, laparoscopic high uterosacral suspension, is demonstrated by Iglesia in two separate cases with variant anatomy.

Why epiqar

epiqar has managed the SGS Private Archive for over a decade. We built the platform, maintain the cloud infrastructure, and have ingested every video since day one. We are not proposing to learn your archive. We already know it.

Beyond our video archive work, epiqar has spent a decade applying surgical video and web-based training expertise to live surgery broadcasting and cloud archiving for BD, Hologic, Teleflex and others, working alongside leading surgical teams in the NHS, USA, Europe, Canada and Central America.

The Closing Thought

SGS has spent two decades building the most authoritative narrated surgical video library in women’s health. The next generation of surgeons will expect to interact with that knowledge in ways the current platform cannot support. Meridian AI is how SGS stays ahead of that expectation.
We would welcome the conversation.
