This short instructional clip demonstrates collection technique for a Pap test. The narration explains how to rotate the brush against the transformation zone, rinse it at once in the ThinPrep solution to release the cells, and seat the broom device so its bristles sample the canal and ectocervix. It is a practical guide for cervical screening technique.
Hydrocele surgery — the operation that drains and repairs the fluid-filled sac around the testicle — is shown in this educational video. It outlines the main steps of the procedure for students and for patients learning about the condition. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
This educational video explains the medical (medication-based) management of ectopic pregnancy, including how the treatment works and how patients are monitored during it. General clinical information. Educational only — not medical advice.
This urology video demonstrates Foley catheter insertion in both male and female patients. The recording shows the sterile technique used to place an indwelling urinary catheter, a routine procedure in hospital, surgical, and nursing care. Urinary catheters drain the bladder when a patient cannot pass urine normally.

Not every woman undergoes a traditional vaginal delivery with the birth of her child. Under conditions of fetal or maternal distress, or in the case of breech presentation (when a baby is turned feet first at the time of delivery), or if the woman’s first baby was born by cesarean delivery, a procedure called a cesarean section may be required. During a cesarean, a doctor will make either a lateral incision in the skin just above the pubic hair line, or a vertical incision below the navel. As the incision is made, blood vessels are cauterized to slow bleeding. After cutting through the skin, fat, and muscle of the abdomen, the membrane that covers the internal organs is opened, exposing the bladder and uterus. At this time the physician will generally insert his or her hands into the pelvis in order to determine the position of the baby and the placenta. Next, an incision is made into the uterus and any remaining fluids are suctioned from the uterus. The doctor then enlarges the incision with his or her fingers. The baby’s head is then grasped and gently pulled with the rest of its body from the mother’s uterus. Finally, the abdominal layers are sewn together in the reverse order that they were cut. The mother is allowed to recover for approximately three to five days in the hospital. She will also be quite sore and restricted from activity for the following several weeks. There are several potential complications associated with this procedure that should be discussed with a doctor prior to surgery.
Prostate biopsy is a procedure in which small hollow needle-core samples are removed from a man's prostate gland to be examined microscopically for the presence of cancer. It is typically performed when the result from a PSA blood test rises to a level that is associated with the possible presence of prostate cancer.
A VCUG (Voiding Cystourethrogram) is a test that looks at how well your child's kidneys, ureters and bladder are working. Your child's kidneys make urine. The urine flows from the kidneys through thin tubes (called ureters) into your child's bladder.

There are associated surgeries patients may elect to, including facial feminization surgery, breast augmentation, and various other procedures
