A teaching case shows an endotracheal tube placed in the esophagus during surgery and recognized at once. The narration explains why the tube is left in place temporarily until the airway is secured. It is used for education in anesthesia and airway management. The case is presented as it unfolded in the operating room.
This narrated procedure demonstrates an infraclavicular brachial plexus block using a nerve stimulator. The clinician measures landmarks below the clavicle, advances a stimulation needle until finger contractions confirm placement at low current, then injects local anaesthetic and threads a catheter. It is a training resource for regional anaesthesia.
Do penises have bones? This educational video explains the anatomy behind the question — humans do not have a penile bone (baculum), unlike many other mammals, and erection is a blood-flow process instead. Educational only — not medical advice.
A narrated above-knee amputation is presented in this surgical recording. The team reviews the patient's injuries from a motorcycle accident, including an open pelvic fracture, before operating on the unsalvageable leg. The video is shared for education in trauma and orthopedic surgery.
This skills video demonstrates the simple interrupted suture, described in the narration as the simplest suturing technique for bringing wound edges together. It shows the needle passing perpendicularly through each side at the same depth before the ends are tied over the incision. The opening exchange is in Tagalog; the technique narration is in English.
This video reports on the idea of head transplant surgery — an experimental concept in transplant medicine that has drawn worldwide attention and debate. It outlines what such an operation would involve and the scientific and ethical questions surrounding it. Presented for learning and discussion. For learning purposes only — not medical advice.
Male urinary catheter insertion is demonstrated step by step in this urology procedure video, from sterile preparation to advancing the catheter into the bladder. It is a core clinical skill taught to medical and nursing students. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.

It sits in the site's funny videos collection.
Silent HD footage shows an open splenectomy, the surgical removal of the spleen. The recording follows the operation without spoken narration, presenting the procedure in the operating room from incision to completion. It is presented for education in general surgery, and runs a little over three minutes.
A living donor liver transplantation operation is documented in this lengthy surgical recording. The procedure shows the transplant team's work during this major operation. It serves as a resource for students of transplant surgery and hepatobiliary care. Students can use it alongside standard textbooks and supervised clinical training.
This is an educational video for the prostate cancer patients and their families. Depending on the individual patient, a radical prostatectomy, might be a procedure that your urologist could recommend as treatment. Here is a brief demonstration of this procedure.
A uterine fibroid (also uterine leiomyoma, myoma, fibromyoma, leiofibromyoma, fibroleiomyoma, and fibroma) (plural of ... myoma is ...myomas or ...myomata) is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor that originates from the smooth muscle layer (myometrium) and the accompanying connective tissue of the uterus. Fibroids are the most common benign tumors in females and typically found during the middle and later reproductive years. While most fibroids are asymptomatic, they can grow and cause heavy and painful menstruation, painful sexual intercourse, and urinary frequency and urgency. Uterine fibroids is the major indication for hysterectomy in the US.[2] Fibroids are often multiple and if the uterus contains too many leiomyomatas to count, it is referred to as uterine leiomyomatosis. The malignant version of a fibroid is uncommon and termed a leiomyosarcoma.
TAA is performed either under general anesthetic or nerve block. A tourniquet is used at the time of surgery to control bleeding and improve visualization during the surgery. The ankle is approached from the front or the side depending on the type of implant being used. Bone is then cut, allowing for placement of the metal and plastic components that re-create the ankle joint. Sometimes the patient will have a tight calf muscle or tight Achilles tendon that needs to be lengthened to improve range of motion of the ankle. The wounds are then closed using stitches or staples, and a splint is applied. A period of non-weightbearing in either a cast or cast boot is necessary to allow the implants to heal in place.
