The audio in this brain surgery recording is indistinct and non-English, so no narration can be followed. The operation shown is removal of a hydatid cyst from the brain, followed visually over about a minute and a half. It is shared as a visual record for education in neurosurgery.
A renal biopsy is a procedure used to extract kidney tissue for laboratory analysis. The word “renal” describes the kidneys. A renal biopsy is also called a kidney biopsy. The test helps your doctor identify the type of kidney disease you have, how severe it is, and the best treatment for it.
Silent operating-room footage shows the removal of a large brain tumor. The recording follows the surgical team's work without spoken narration, presenting the operation as it proceeds. It is shared for education in neurosurgery and the operative management of intracranial tumors.
This very short clip presents deep palpation of the abdomen. Lasting about sixteen seconds without narration, it shows the palpation technique described by its title in Physical Examination. It is shared as a brief visual reference for abdominal palpation during the clinical examination.
Placement of a Foley catheter in a female patient is explained in this short clinical video. The demonstration covers the insertion of the urinary catheter using standard sterile technique. The recording is intended for nursing and medical students learning catheterization skills.
Narrated by the operating surgeon, this recording presents a tummy tuck. He shows the abdominal laxity before surgery, marks the midline, and explains how the skin is tightened towards the pubic hairline while the navel stays in place, with some liposuction. It is an operative account in Plastic Surgery.
This short clinical-skills video demonstrates an intramuscular injection being given to a female patient. Intramuscular injections deliver medication deep into the muscle tissue, and correct site selection and technique are essential parts of everyday nursing and clinical practice.
Urogenital neoplasms spreading to the inguinal lymph nodes are penile carcinoma (the most frequent), urethral and scrotum cancers, tumors of the testis with scrotal violation. Penile carcinoma is an uncommon malignant disease and accounts for as many 0.4-0.6% of male cancers. Most patients are elder...ly. It rarely occurs in men under age 60 and its incidence increases progressively until it reaches a peak in the eighth decade 1. The risk of a lymph node invasion is greater with high grade and high stage tumors 2. Some investigators have reported the inaccuracy of the sentinel node biopsy 3, 4, described by Cabanas 5. Patients with metastatic lymph node penis cancer have a very poor prognosis if penectomy only is performed. Ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy is basically carried out as a treatment modality and not only as a staging act. Patients with lymph node invasion have a 30-40% cure rate. Ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy should be also performed in patients with disseminated neoplasms for the local control of the disease. The 5 years survival rate of patients with clinically negative lymph nodes treated with a modified inguinal lymphadenectomy is 88% versus 38% in patients not initially treated with lymphadenectomy 6. This video-tape clearly shows a therapeutic algorithm, the anatomy of the inguinal lymph nodes, according to Rouviere 7 and Daseler 8, the radical ilioinguinal node dissection with transposition of the sartorius muscle and the modified inguinal lymphadenectomy proposed by Catalona 9.

Brief guidance from a nurse covers caring for a newly circumcised baby. In this Pediatrics clip she advises Vaseline at the site for three to four days, cleaning with plain warm water, and prompt diaper changes, noting the exception when a plastic bell is used. It is short post-procedure care guidance.
This educational explainer compares the physiology of male and female sexual response, including the stages of arousal and orgasm, in clinical terms. Intended for adult health education. Educational only — not medical advice.
This case video concerns a patient whose leg and buttock implants ruptured, and the medical assessment that followed. Presented as a plastic-surgery complication case for clinical education. Educational only — not medical advice.
Tracheotomy is a surgical procedure which consists of making an incision on the anterior aspect of the neck and opening a direct airway through an incision in the trachea (windpipe). The resulting stoma (hole), or tracheostomy, can serve independently as an airway or as a site for a tracheostomy tube to be inserted; this tube allows a person to breathe without the use of his or her nose or mouth. Both surgical and percutaneous techniques are widely used in current surgical practice. It is among the oldest described procedures.
External cephalic version is a process by which a breech baby can sometimes be turned from buttocks or foot first to head first. External cephalic version (ECV) is a manual procedure that is advocated by national guidelines for breech presentation singleton pregnancy, in order to enable vaginal delivery.
This Urology video presents a distal urethroplasty with a dorsal dartos flap. It has no spoken narration, so the urethral reconstruction is followed visually over about four minutes. It is shared as a visual record for education in urethroplasty and reconstructive urological surgery.
Step by step, this demonstration covers male Foley catheter insertion, from sterile preparation and draping to advancing the catheter and securing it once urine flows. It is a practical skills resource for nursing and medical students. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
Female urinary catheter insertion is demonstrated in this clinical skills video. The recording shows the sterile technique used to place a catheter into the bladder through the urethra. It is a training resource for nursing and medical students learning urinary catheterization procedures.
