Wound cleaning is demonstrated in this short surgical nursing video. The recording shows how a wound is cleaned as part of routine wound care in a clinical setting. It is presented as a basic training example for students learning wound management, dressing procedures, and basic care.
This narrated microsurgery video demonstrates a vasovasostomy, the reversal of a vasectomy. Through a small scrotal incision, the surgeon removes the scarred section of the vas, checks the fluid from the testicular end, and joins the two ends under the microscope with sutures finer than a human hair. It is presented for education in urology microsurgery.
A ureteroscopy is an examination or procedure using a ureteroscope. A ureteroscope, like a cystoscope, is an instrument for examining the inside of the urinary tract. The urologist can insert small instruments through the cystoscope to treat problems in the urethra and bladder or perform a biopsy. For a ureteroscopy, the urologist passes the ureteroscope through the bladder and into a ureter.
A ventouse delivery — vacuum-assisted birth using a suction cup applied to the baby's head — is shown in this childbirth video. The method is used to assist delivery during the second stage of labor when progress slows or the baby needs help arriving. For obstetric learning. For learning purposes only — not medical advice.
This 3D medical animation contains the discharge instructions for removal of a Foley catheter from a man. The step-by-step procedures for emptying the Foley bag and removing the Foley catheter are shown. Symptoms requiring a follow-up call to the surgeon are listed.
The baby will move head down if there is room or if there is tone in the support to the uterus to direct baby head down. Before 24-26 weeks most babies lie diagonal or sideways in the Transverse Lie position. Between 24-29 weeks most babies turn vertical and some will be breech.
This is a minimally invasive surgical technique using an endoscope to remove any type of lumbar disc herniation - prolapsed, sequestrated or migrating discs. This technique does not employ any specialist instruments.The procedure involves two 5 mm portals employed beside the midline at the appropriate level of disc prolapse and the approach is interlaminar. The success rate of this technique in my hands is more than 90%
This physical examination video demonstrates the clinical breast examination, part 1 of the Loyola University series.

Identify and describe sonographic images of benign and malignant features and common breast pathologies.
Explain biopsy techniques for breast tumors.
Define and use related medical terminology.
Explain the Patient Privacy Rule (HIPAA) and Patient Safety Act (see reference
Anoscopy performed with the patient in the jackknife position is demonstrated in this educational video. Anoscopy uses a short, lighted instrument to examine the anal canal and lower rectum. A clinical-skills resource for students of colorectal examination. Educational only — not medical advice.
A complete head-to-toe assessment of a pediatric patient is presented in this teaching video, following the Bates visual guide format used in clinical training. It works through each body system in examination order. A study resource for students learning pediatric examination. Educational only — not medical advice.
The majority of fetuses are in a breech presentation early in pregnancy. By week 38th week of gestation, however, the fetus normally turns to a cephalic presentation. Although the fetal head is the widest single diameter, the fetus’s buttocks [ breech], plus the lower extremities, actually takes up more space. The fundus, being the largest part of the uterus, probably accounts for the fact that in approximately 97% of all pregnancies, the fetus turns so that the buttocks and lower extremities are in the fundus. Vaginal delivery of a breech presentation requires great skill if the fetus is not to be damaged. With the low rate of vaginal breech deliveries in the developed world, experience is being lost. 6% of women with breech presentation still have a vaginal breech delivery as they present too late - so units need to retain a high level of preparedness. Types of breech presentation: I. Complete breech [ flexed breech]: The fetal attitude is one of complete flexion, with hips and knees both flexed and the feet tucked in beside the buttocks. The presenting part consists of two buttocks, external genitalia and two feet. It is commonly present in multiparae. II. Incomplete breech: This is due to varying degrees of extension of thighs or legs at podalic pole. Three varieties are possible; - Breech with extended legs [ frank breech ]: The breech presents with the hips flexed and legs extended on the abdomen. 70% of breech presentations are of this type and it is particularly common in primigravidae whose good uterine muscle tone inhibits flexion of the legs and free turning of the fetus. - Footling breech: This is rare. One or both feet present because neither hips nor knees are fully flexed. The feet are lower than the buttocks, which distinguishes it from the complete breech. - Knee presentation: This is very rare. Thighs are extended but the knees are flexed, bringing the knees down to present at the brim.
An appendectomy (sometimes called appendisectomy or appendicectomy (British English)) is the surgical removal of the vermiform appendix. This procedure is normally performed as an emergency procedure, when the patient is suffering from acute appendicitis. In the absence of surgical facilities, intravenous antibiotics are used to delay or prevent the onset of sepsis; it is now recognized that many cases will resolve when treated perioperatively. In some cases the appendicitis resolves completely; more often, an inflammatory mass forms around the appendix, causing transruptural flotation. This is a relative contraindication to surgery.
