Porcine stomach surgical simulation model for cesarean section and cervical laceration suturing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Junior OB/GYN residents lack opportunities for fundamental surgical skills training of cesarean section, and most OB/GYN residents lack the experience of cervical laceration suturing due to its low incidence.

Methods

A porcine stomach simulation model was designed for obstetrics surgical training. The surface of the stomach simulated the uterus, and the pylorus and cardia simulated the cervical canal.

Experience

Materials are available from the nearby market. The total cost of the model is￥41. This model can be used in the training in uterus incision and repair of cesarean section and training in cervical laceration suturing.

Conclusion

The porcine stomach simulation model is pragmatic and realistic. They can be applied in the OB/GYN skill courses to
