Development and Validation of a Novel, User-Friendly Simulation Phantom for Ultrasound-Guided Transvaginal Pelvic Abscess Drainage.

Background: The increasing integration of point-of-care ultrasound into clinical practice necessitates effective training tools. One such practice is pelvic abscess drainage using a vaginal probe, where an appropriate training model does not exist.

Objective: To develop and evaluate an economical, user-friendly phantom for simulating pelvic abscess drainage.
