Abstract
Study Objective
The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the construction of a low-fidelity laparoscopic simulation model to practice retroperitoneal dissection, ureterolysis, and ligation of the uterine artery at its origin.
Design
A low-fidelity laparoscopic simulator was constructed out of supplies purchased from Amazon to be assembled inside the EMIGS LaparoBowl.
Setting
The model can be used in any laparoscopic box trainer.
Patients or Participants
Trainees and experienced surgeons.
Interventions
The participant is asked to complete retroperitoneal dissection with ureterolysis and ligation of the uterine artery.
Measurements and Primary Results
The model is a promising educational tool for trainees.
Conclusion
Learning how to perform retroperitoneal dissection and ureterolysis to successfully ligate the uterine artery at its origin is a cornerstone skill of the advanced gynecologic surgeon. This low-fidelity laparoscopic simulation model can help trainees learn this skill.
