TL;DR
The value in using the sow uterus and bladder is that details of tissue management can be induced in the instructional course and the student can observed what happens to tissue under the influence of various energy forms such as bipolar or monopolar electrosurgery and lasers.
Abstract
The tissue model described is readily available and can be manipulated in many ways to stimulate intraoperative conditions that may be approached by gynecologic endoscopic surgery. The value in using the sow uterus and bladder is that details of tissue management can be induced in the instructional course. The student can learn where and how to make incisions, to remove tissue from the cavity (abdomen or uterus), and to perform endoscopic suturing when indicated. The student can observed what happens to tissue under the influence of various energy forms such as bipolar or monopolar electrosurgery and lasers. The range of actual simulations is limited only by the imagination of the instructors and can probably be adapted to many other procedures not described in this report.
