A TEACHING VIDEO FOR PRIMARY CAESAREAN SECTION

Video abstract summary Caesarean section is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures by Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Despite this, there are no comprehensive, reliable educational videos for teaching this procedure. With the decrease in resident work hours and increased emphasis on patient safety, there is a focus on moving the initial stages of learning outside of the operating room. Curated instructional videos to teach surgical procedures are one way to accomplish this. This video is an excerpt from a full length teaching video demonstrating the key steps important for performing a primary vertex caesarean section including patient positioning, relevant anatomy, and surgical technique. The video combines real-time operating room footage with high fidelity 3-D animation. This video can be used to enhance the learning of medical trainees and other allied health professionals such as nurses or midwives.
