Every operating theatre in my local hospital has cameras. Because it is a teaching aid. Operations can be recorded or streamed as needed around the hospital and local Universities.

I remember sitting in the doctors mess in Ophthalmology discussing something with one of the senior consultants while on the wall opposite I could see an eye operation underway. I can watch just about anything except knee and eye operations. One of the weirdest meetings I have ever had.
