AUGS/IUGA Scientific Meeting 2019-Affordable Training Model for Urogynecology Procedure

Affordable Training Model for Urogynecology Procedure

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Koduri from India demonstrates how to create affordable models for surgical training using everyday materials. By using potato starch, silicone sealant, epoxy compound, lubricants, and colors, he creates a model of the bladder and urethra. He also shows how to create a model for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, a surgical procedure used to treat pelvic organ prolapse. The models allow surgeons to practice procedures such as cystoscopy and sacrocolpopexy. Dr. Koduri emphasizes that these models are cost-effective, costing only $25, and can be remade as needed. The video provides step-by-step instructions and visual demonstrations of the model-making process.
