Unlikely books and illustrations, when cutting trough skin and flesh nearly everything is red. Surgeon need to know the exact shape and connections of the different organs.

Having multiple lights from different angles will make shadows nearly invisible, letting the surgeon see when they cut inside the body.

It’s similar to what a photographer would do to illuminate a subject to enhance it.
