Three-Dimensional Peripheral Bloodstream Model of Uterus for Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy

Trainees require extensive experience to perform radical hysterectomy. Before starting training during an actual operation, trainees should be familiar with the pelvic anatomy and simulate surgical procedures. Many simulators are available for virtual reality training of laparoscopic operations, but they are very expensive.The materials required to construct our model are sponges and colored wires sold in home improvement stores, providing superior cost-effectiveness. The model represents almost all peripheral vessels and nerves around the uterus, including minor vessels.
