This surgical simulation model for vaginal posterior repair is designed to enhance vaginal surgical training.
A beef tongue simulation model was previously described and validated to practice the repair of obstetric laceration. The model was modified for surgical simulation of vaginal posterior repair. Chicken skin was used to simulate the anal canal. The model was secured in a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe attached to a wooden base to simulate operating within the vaginal canal.
Materials can be obtained from the local supermarket and hardware store. The total cost of the model is $35.47 for initial setup and $7.11 per use. Residents performing on the model felt it was realistic and useful for practicing the steps and skills for this procedure.
The beef tongue simulation model of vaginal posterior repair is realistic, easy to construct, and affordable. It can be incorporated into a vaginal surgery curriculum to augment resident surgical education.
这种用于阴道后壁修复的手术模拟模型旨在加强阴道手术训练。
先前已描述并验证了一种牛舌模拟模型用于产科裂伤修复的练习。该模型经过修改用于阴道后壁修复的手术模拟。用鸡皮模拟肛管。将模型固定在连接到木制底座的PVC（聚氯乙烯）管中以模拟在阴道管内进行操作。
材料可从当地超市和五金店获得。该模型的初始设置总成本为35.47美元，每次使用成本为7.11美元。在该模型上进行操作的住院医师认为它对于练习该手术的步骤和技能而言逼真且有用。
阴道后壁修复的牛舌模拟模型逼真、易于构建且成本低廉。它可纳入阴道手术课程以加强住院医师的手术教育。
