A light-hearted showcase presents an unusually large operative anoscope. The presenter jokes that its makers explained the instrument's precise function but not its musical quality. Running under a minute in Funny Videos, it is shared as a humorous instrument curiosity for clinical viewers.

Penile implant surgery — a prosthesis procedure used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction — is demonstrated in this urology video, showing the main operative steps. A surgical teaching resource. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.

Silent footage presents gluteal augmentation in Plastic Surgery. The recording shows buttock augmentation over about eighty seconds without spoken narration, as a visual record described by its title alone. It is shared for education in plastic surgery and body contouring procedures.

This is the biggest known operation ever.The Whipple procedure(pancreatoduodenectomy) is the most common operation performed for pancreatic cancer and may be used to treat other cancers such as small bowel cancer. Surgeons remove the head of the pancreas, most of the duodenum (a part of the small intestine), a portion of the bile duct and sometimes a portion of the stomach. After the pancreatoduodenectomy, the surgeon reconstructs the digestive tract. At Mayo Clinic, surgeons perform more than 100 Whipple procedures annually. Patients leave the hospital in an average of 14 days.

To record the sequence, Stephan Gordts and Ivo Brosens of the Leuven Institute for Fertility & Embryology in Belgium performed transvaginal laparoscopy, which involves making a small cut in the vaginal wall and observing the ovary with an endoscope.

"This allows us direct access to and observation of the tubo-ovarian structures without manipulation using forceps," says Gordts.

For the photos of ovulation, which only accidentally captured the critical moment, Jacques Donnez at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL) in Brussels, Belgium, used gas to distend the organs for photography. However, Gordts and Brosens planned the procedure to coincide with ovulation and used saline solution to "float" the structures.
Perfect timing

Observation was timed for the day of the peak of the patient's luteal hormone cycle. Ovulation was predicted to occur on the evening of the day of the LH peak, and the endoscope introduced at 6 pm.

A small amount of saline was used to float the opening of the fallopian tube, its fimbriae (the "fingers" that sweep the egg into the tube) and the ovary itself. This gives a more natural appearance than gas, says Gordts.

In the video, the fimbriae can be seen sweeping in time with the patient's heartbeat. A mucus plug can be seen protruding from the ovary – this contains the egg.

"The ovum is not captured 'naked'," says Gordts. "There is no eruption like a volcano."

Gordts says that in clinical practice it is not easy to organise the observation of ovulation. "We were probably lucky to be successful at our first attempt," he says.

From the USMLE collection, this demonstration shows assessment for pronator drift. The patient holds both hands palms-up with eyes closed while the examiner watches for drift and applies light downward traction. A hand that drifts and pronates illustrates the positive finding, in a short neurology examination clip.

As a doctor many people ask me about masturbation and if it is harmful or not. As a doctor you have already been asked this and this video will give you some hints

Needle Insertion Transversus Abdominus Block

This video demonstrates the physical examination of the abdomen, one of the core assessments in clinical practice. The examination follows the standard sequence of inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation of the abdomen. These skills are taught to every medical and nursing student.

A knee replacement operation from India shows a Gender specific knee replacement implanted through a subvastus approach. Surgery performed by Dr.Venkatachalam of Madras Joint Replacement center www.kneeindia.com

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.

A narrated off-pump coronary bypass operation is shown from start to finish. The surgeon uses a stabilizer and a small shunt to sew the graft while the heart keeps beating. The recording is presented for education in cardiothoracic surgery. The operation footage runs about six and a half minutes in total.

Otto Placik MD. a board certified Chicago based plastic surgeon presents Vulvar Vaginal Genital anatomy lesson reviewing the Vulva, Mons Pubis, clitoral hood, prepuce, frenulum, labia minora & majora, vagina, urethra and fourchette with surgical implications and techniques. Photos pictures and video of anatomic models are reviewed in detail on different models. Great for patients thinking about or planning before labiaplasty or vaginal cosmetic surgery

This video records a partial ingrown toenail removal, with relaxed conversation between the clinician and patient throughout. The clinician frees the nail edge, removes the offending portion with its granulation tissue, and applies phenol to the nail root, explaining how the chemical approach compares with cutting out the root. It is shared for education in minor surgery.

Thanks to a new, state-of-the-art procedure for total knee replacement developed by surgeons at the Detroit Medical Center's Sinai-Grace Hospital, the rehabilitation time for patients has been reduced from six months to six weeks. ~ Detroit Medical Center

Practical instruction demonstrates venipuncture with a vacutainer. The clip covers tourniquet use, gloves and skin cleansing, bevel-up insertion at a shallow angle until blood flashes back, filling several tubes, and withdrawing the needle under pressure. It is a phlebotomy skills clip in Clinical Skills.
