Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis: Sacrospinous hysteropexy is one of the preeminent uterus-preserving surgical techniques for treating pelvic organ prolapse supported by level one evidence. As training on models greatly improves surgical skills and outcomes, we developed a simple and inexpensive model to simulate sacrospinous hysteropexy.
Methods: A step-by-step instruction for the production of the model is available to be viewed online. To keep production costs low, readily available materials were used, with a total cost per model of about 2 EUR (Austria, August 2023). All important anatomical landmarks (prolapsing uterus, vagina, ischial spine and sacrospinous ligament) were all represented. We present a detailed instructional video on how to construct the model and the practical training, detailing the individual steps of a successful sacrospinous hysteropexy, available online. Thus, trainees are able to practice the individual movements of the entire surgical procedure on this simulator model guided by the tutorial video. In this way, trainees will be able to practice the entire surgical procedure.
Results: An introduction to the model with explanation of all anatomical landmarks and a standardised explanation of the surgery with its individual steps (handout distributed).
Conclusion: The presented video showcases the feasibility of the easy construction and application of a model for the surgical skill training of sacrospinous hysteropexy. Easily accessible, inexpensive material and its simple build make this a reproducible model regardless of geographic or socioeconomic resources.
期刊介绍:
The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
