Teaching
Teaching and projects
Interactive anatomy, condition atlases, fellowship maps, and a case-based simulator. Most models are schematic. They are not a substitute for an operative plan.
Anatomy and mechanics
- Urologic Anatomy
Explore female and male anatomy from diaphragm to pelvis. Follow urology lessons and remove organs to uncover quiz targets. Visual demo; not for clinical use.
- Female and male voiding mechanics
Explore bladder contraction, outlet relaxation, and urine flow in an interactive 3D teaching atlas. Generic anatomy; schematic mechanics.
- Surgical Frame: 3D reconstructive anatomy
Explore the retroperitoneum, pelvis, and perineum through surgical approaches and guided tours.
Reconstruction atlases
- Urethral stricture: one specimen in 3D
Explore one constructed short bulbar scar in Patient or Trainee mode. Cutaway views and five overlays: disease, DVIU/dilation, drug-coated balloon, excision and anastomosis, and dorsal or ventral buccal graft. Visual demo; not for clinical use.
- Bladder neck after TURP
One constructed outlet after TURP. A patent contracture with a pinhole, or complete obliteration with a suprapubic tube. Six overlays open the neck. Visual demo; not for clinical use.
- Pelvic Fracture Urethral Injury Anatomy
Explore 20, 40 and 60 mm teaching cases with animated reconstruction and rewind. Visual demo; not for clinical use.
- Transplant ureter, unfolded.
One donor kidney in the iliac fossa. Left or right kidney, pelvis in front of or behind the vessels, upper pole up or down, refluxing or anti-refluxing anastomosis, ureter to bladder or to native ureter, pyelovesicostomy. Schematic geometry; not for clinical use.
- Ureteral reconstruction anatomy, unfolded.
Explore left distal ureter anatomy, reimplantation, psoas hitch, and Boari flap overlays. Visual demo; not for clinical use.
- Donor nephrectomy anatomy, unfolded.
Explore left and right donor kidneys, side-specific vessels and neighboring organs, the ureteral packet, arterial variants, and the harvest sequence. Switch laterality within the atlas. Visual demo; not for clinical use.
- Penile amputation and replantation
Follow normal penile and scrotal anatomy through amputation, matching cut surfaces, and schematic replantation. Educational review model; not for clinical use.
Gender-affirming teaching models
- Peritoneal flap vaginoplasty, unfolded.
Explore pelvic anatomy, two peritoneal flaps, and the skin-to-peritoneum reconstruction in 3D. Visual demo; not for clinical use.
- Radial forearm phalloplasty, unfolded.
Follow one left forearm flap through tube-within-a-tube construction. Work in progress: donor construction only; transfer and later stages remain in the storyboard.
- Gender-affirming mastectomy, unfolded.
Explore bilateral double-incision mastectomy with free nipple grafts and a separate nipple-preserving approach. Follow flap elevation, resection and closure, or review one step at a time. Illustrative educational animation.
