In recent years, due to reduced training opportunities, the major shift in surgical training is towards the use of simulation and animal laboratories. Despite the merits of Virtual Reality Simulators, they are far from representing the real challenges encountered in theatres. We introduce the "Cattle Uterus Model" in the hope that it will be adopted in training courses as a low cost and easy-to-set-up tool. It adds new dimensions to the advanced hysteroscopic surgery training experience by providing tactile sensation and simulating intraoperative difficulties. It complements conventional surgical training, aiming to maximise clinical exposure and minimise patients' harm.

Submucosal uterine fibroids are the rarest type of fibroids. They can lead to abnormal uterine bleeding and may play a role in infertility and miscarriage. Hysteroscopic myomectomy is the preferred treatment to relieve bleeding caused by these fibroids and to restore the normal structure of the uterine cavity.

Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication that can occur following hysteroscopic surgery for endometrial polyp resection. This article discusses the case study by Kakinuma , which highlights the successful diagnosis and treatment of UAP in a 48-year-old primiparous woman. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound and computed tomography (CT), the medical team was able to promptly identify the UAP and subsequently perform a uterine artery embolization to treat the condition.

Müllerian anomalies are congenital disorders that affect the female reproductive system, often leading to a range of obstetric complications. These anomalies include structural abnormalities such as arcuate, septate, unicornuate, and bicornuate uteri, which can impact fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and delivery methods. This case series presents five patients with different types of Müllerian anomalies, including septate, arcuate, and unicornuate uteri.

This manuscript explores the case on the occurrence of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) during hysteroscopy endometrial polypectomy and the subsequent successful treatment uterine artery embolization (UAE). Moreover, we focus on the management and treatment options for UAP in patients of advanced maternal age. A pseudoaneurysm is an extraluminal blood collection with a disrupted flow that communicates with the parent vessel a defect in the arterial wall.

Historically, blind intrauterine procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C) and blind endometrial biopsies have been the primary approach for diagnosing and managing intrauterine pathologies. However, these techniques lack direct visualization, leading to diagnostic limitations, incomplete treatment, and increased complication rates. Despite substantial advances in hysteroscopic technology, including high-definition imaging and minimally invasive instruments, blind procedures remain widely used.
