HCI research on surgery has grown substantially in recent years, spanning field studies of surgical practices, investigations of collaboration and training, and the design of novel interactive technologies such as robotic systems, augmented reality, and remote mentoring tools. Despite this momentum, researchers and clinicians working on HCI and surgery remain distributed across fields, disciplines, and subcommunities. This Birds of a Feather (BoF) session aims to bring together academics, industry practitioners, and clinicians interested in interactive technologies for surgical work. Through an informal, lunch-structured discussion format, participants will exchange insights about empirical findings, system design challenges, and the realities of translating HCI innovations into surgical practice. The goal is to strengthen connections within this emerging community, surface shared challenges, and identify opportunities for future research and collaboration at the intersection of HCI and surgery.
