Overalapping Anal Sphincteroplasty Filmed Using A Vaginally Mounted High Definition Camera

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video depicts an overlapping anal sphinctroplasty procedure performed on a 39-year-old woman with fecal incontinence due to obstetrical trauma. The surgery is filmed using a high-definition camera mounted vaginally, which aids in visualization and teaching. The procedure involves making an incision parallel to the external anal sphincter, entering the rectovaginal space, identifying and mobilizing the disrupted ends of the anal sphincter, repairing any internal sphincter defect, overlapping and suturing the sphincter ends together, and repairing the perineal body. The use of a high-definition camera enhances learners' understanding of the surgical technique. No credits were specified in the transcript.
