Tissue Model for Laparoscopic Colpotomy Simulation

Video Author: Maureen Cho, Clarissa Lam, Veronica Lerner
Published on: 06.11.2019

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is challenging to teach, and colpotomy is considered to be one of the most challenging steps. We have developed a low-cost partial task trainer to teach the colpotomy portion of a laparoscopic hysterectomy. The model consists of porcine stomach attached to a uterine manipulator, and a reusable uterus replica. Video consists of how-to step-by-step instructions to create the model and demonstrates is use in different settings. Video created by Maureen Cho, Clarissa Lam, Veronica Lerner.

Shear wave in human cervix

Creator: Lindsey Drehfal

Duration: 1:01

To create a shear wave, a high frequency ultrasound pulse ( “push pulse”) gently pushes the tissue a tiny amount (microns). The speed of the shear wave can be tracked for a few microseconds as it propagates outward over a small area (mm) from proximal to distal along the cervix. The video shows the prototype linear transducer that was used to generate the shear wave taped to the operator's finger, then a drawing of the transducer contacting the cervix. A linear transducer was used, as wave behavior can be complex and unpredictable with curvilinear transducers (such as a typical transvaginal transducer). The red box demonstrates the area where the shear wave was tracked in the cervix. Time (microseconds) is shown across the top. The Y axis shows depth (mm) into the cervix. The colors represent tissue displacement (microns) as shown in the bar on the right. See the related article by Feltovich et al (July 2017 issue). Video created by Lindsey Drehfal.

Anterior Colpotomy and Vesicocervical Space for Vaginal Hysterectomy

Creator: Sunil Balgobin, MD and Marlene M. Corton, MD, MSCS

Duration: 8:14

Anterior colpotomy is one of the most difficult procedural steps to master during vaginal hysterectomy, and may be a major obstacle to more widespread use of the vaginal approach. Precise knowledge of surgical anatomy is essential for safe and proficient performance of this important step. The objectives of this video are to outline the anatomy of the vesicocervical space, demonstrate a dissection technique of anterior colpotomy, and present our results on the average distance from the cervico-vaginal junction to the anterior peritoneal reflection for vaginal hysterectomy.

Minilaparoscopic single site total hysterectomy.

Creator: Dr. Stefano Uccella, MD, PhD

Duration: 1:34

The technique for minilaparoscopic single site hysterectomy is here shown. A uterine manipulator is placed transvaginally and two 3-mm trocars are inserted at the umbilical level. Standard steps for total laparoscopic hysterectomy are followed. The entire operation is accomplished using only reusable instruments and all the uterine vascular pedicles are coagulated using 3-mm bipolar coagulation. Colpotomy is performed using monopolar cautery and the specimen is extracted through the vagina. The cuff is sutured transvaginally. The operation is terminated leaving only a very small umbilical incision. See the related article by Uccella et al (July 2015 issue).

Laparoscopic enclosed power morcellation using a surgical glove

Creator: Ali Akdemir, MD

Duration: 7:30

The specimen is placed into the glove within the abdomen. Glove opening and thumb are exteriorized through the umbilical and left lower incisions, respectively. The trocar and optic are inserted into the glove, which is then insufflated. The thumb tip is cut, and a power morcellator is inserted through this finger. The morcellation is accomplished within the glove. The thumb tip is closed, and the glove, containing residuals, is removed through the umbilical incision. Thus, the risks of bag piercing and leakage during contained power morcellation are eliminated. See the related article by Akdemir et al (May 2015 issue).
