PFD Week 2018-A Low-Cost, High-Fidelity Simulation Model for Vaginal Hysterectomy

A Low-Cost, High-Fidelity Simulation Model for Vaginal Hysterectomy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video explains how to construct a vaginal hysterectomy simulation model. White modeling material is used to create the pelvic viscera, including the uterus, bladder, and rectum. Zip ties are strategically placed to attach ligaments, and the organs are wrapped using knee highs. The bladder and rectum are wrapped separately, and the ureter is threaded through the zip ties. Uterine attachments are marked, and ligaments are threaded and secured to properly suspend the uterus. Gauze and fiberfill are used to create various tissue spaces, and a plastic bag is applied to simulate peritoneal folds. The model provides a representation of anatomical structures for practicing vaginal hysterectomy. <br />(No credits are mentioned in the video)
