Popis: Video abstract summary Hysterectomies are the most commonly performed surgical procedure by Obstetricians and Gynecologists in women aged between 40 and 69.Vaginal hysterectomies are the most commonly performed hysterectomy as women get older, often in combination with prolapse repairs1. Despite this, there are no comprehensive, reliable educational videos for teaching this procedure. With the decrease in resident work hours and increased emphasis on patient safety, there is a focus on moving the initial stages of learning outside of the operating room. Curated instructional videos to teach surgical procedures are one way to accomplish this. This video is an excerpt from a full length teaching video demonstrating the key steps important for performing a vaginal hysterectomy including patient positioning, relevant anatomy, and surgical technique. The video combines real-time operating room footage with high fidelity 3-D animation. This video can be used to enhance the learning of medical trainees and other allied health professionals.
