Virtual Patient Cases

The VirtaMed HystSim™ complete training curriculum includes diagnostic hysteroscopy, polypectomy, myomectomy and Endometrial Ablation. An extensive library of virtual patients includes 32 pathologies and anatomical variations of varying levels of difficulty. A library of natural variations encountered over years of surgical practice has been incorporated. Easy diagnostic cases and small polyps provide an ideal learning environment for novice surgeons, while challenging fibroids provide a training environment for more experienced surgeons.

Simulation of Complication Scenarios

The VirtaMed HystSim™ simulates all relevant complications in hysteroscopy during the procedure;
Establishing and maintaining a clear view is an essential challenge in hysteroscopic surgery.  The HystSim™ realistic simulation of bleeding provides a unique training environment for the detection and coagulation of bleeding sources as well as fluid-handling without putting an actual patient at risk.
Learners experience and react to one of the most common hysteroscopy complications during simulation; Perforation of the uterine cavity. Once a perforation occurs in the simulation, the cavity cannot be established and the learner is required to terminate the procedure, recording the perforation in the learner’s feedback report.

A unique ‘Instructor Control’ allows creating bleeding, perforation or emergency scenarios (instrument failure, fluid overflow) on demand during a training session.

Realistic Simulation of Hysteroscopic Instruments
The simulation system uses a real resectosope to facilitate practicing instrument handling during hysteroscopy.  A comprehensive variety of anatomical variation and pathologies enable mastering the techniques of hysteroscopy to proficiency.
