PFD Week 2018-Development and Hierarchical Task Analysis of a Robotic Pelvic Surgery Training Model

Development and Hierarchical Task Analysis of a Robotic Pelvic Surgery Training Model

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the development of a pelvic simulation model for training in robotic sacrocopalpexy. The objective was to create a model that closely resembles the anatomy encountered during the procedure. A hierarchical task analysis was performed to outline the necessary tasks and subtasks involved in the procedure. The model includes a bony pelvis, vasculature, ureter, vaginal cuff, peritoneal layer, and mesh. The video demonstrates the steps of the procedure using the model, including survey of the pelvis, pre-sacral dissection, and mesh placement. The strengths of the model include immediate feedback and reusability. Ongoing validation studies are planned to further evaluate the model's effectiveness as a training tool.
