Surgeries done in lateral position Videos

+Elbaghouli Mohamed Thank you Dr Mohamed, do you have some idea or tip to share?

Hi, thank you dear colleague. Do you have a trick to share or a suggestion to upgrade one of these tricks?

+Erin Holbert I have tried to add patches of colour to cover the genitalia a little bit.youtube doesn't allow the exchange of the video, otherwise I would have change it.Thank you once again for your valuable comments. If you have more comment please  send them to me.

yes, your comment and all you say is right, and that is the way we do and and that is the usual procedure.It was only for this video, we thought in the time that to serve the purpose of this educative video to show the ease of access to the "genitalia", which is the first step of PCNL with the cystoscopy and retrograde insertion of the ureteral catheter.  you can see my other videos, it was done as you are saying.

Could have kept his genitalia covered until the scrub and then used a fenestrated drape. I would never consent for my spouse to be exposed like this. I am his medical POA. I certainly would not want exposed this way either.

Thank you for your comment, which is awfully correct. you are right we must protect and respect the dignity of people, and that is what we try to do.Normally,  the patient is covered, until the position is performed, then after washing and sterilisation of the operating field, the patient is covered with drapes. the patient is not covered for only a few minutes,and we cannot do otherwise since we have to work through the urethra.For this video we had all these issues in mind, and we had discussed what to show ..., there is also a religious issues that were considered.  The video had shown the patient like this since the goal of this position is to show the possibility of simultaneous  access of lower and upper urinary tract. Also, we had asked permission from this patient for the video and his identity is masked.Thank you once again your comments are welcome.
