An above knee leg amputation operation is documented in this lengthy surgical recording. The procedure shows the operative removal of the leg above the knee joint in an operating room. It is presented for surgical education on amputation technique and limb surgery. The recording is intended for education only and not as guidance for any individual case.
Examination of the lymph nodes of the head is demonstrated in this physical examination video. The examiner palpates the head and neck node regions as part of routine assessment. The recording is a training resource for students learning lymph node examination. The material is intended for general medical education and classroom study.
Examination of a femoral hernia is shown in this brief surgical examination clip. The recording presents how the groin area is assessed when a femoral hernia is suspected. It is an educational example for students learning hernia examination technique. It can support classroom teaching and independent study in this subject area.
A rectal examination performed by proctoscopy is demonstrated in this physical examination video. The recording shows assessment of the rectum with the patient in the jackknife position. It is a training resource for students learning gastrointestinal examination skills. The content is offered for educational purposes for learners in health fields.
Removal of a large skin cyst is shown in this surgical video. The recording presents the excision of the cyst in an operating setting over several minutes.

Endoscopic nasal septoplasty is shown in this plastic surgery video. The procedure addresses a sharp bony spur of the nasal septum using an endoscopic resection approach. It is presented for education in nasal surgery for students of ENT and plastic surgery. The recording is intended for education only and not as guidance for any individual case.
In a normal person, when a muscle tendon is tapped briskly, the muscle immediately contracts due to a two-neuron reflex arc involving the spinal or brainstem segment that innervates the muscle. The afferent neuron whose cell body lies in a dorsal root ganglion innervates the muscle or Golgi tendon organ associated with the muscles; the efferent neuron is an alpha motoneuron in the anterior horn of the cord. The cerebral cortex and a number of brainstem nuclei exert influence over the sensory input of the muscle spindles by means of the gamma motoneurons that are located in the anterior horn; these neurons supply a set of muscle fibers that control the length of the muscle spindle itself. Hyporeflexia is an absent or diminished response to tapping. It usually indicates a disease that involves one or more of the components of the two-neuron reflex arc itself. Hyperreflexia refers to hyperactive or repeating (clonic) reflexes. These usually indicate an interruption of corticospinal and other descending pathways that influence the reflex arc due to a suprasegmental lesion, that is, a lesion above the level of the spinal reflex pathways.
Drainage of a large cyst on the back is shown in this longer procedural recording. The video follows the opening and drainage of the cyst over an extended session. It is shared as a clinical example for students interested in skin and soft tissue procedures. The material is intended for general medical education and classroom study.
ost of us come across this particular sign quite often. Of course, you can just jump to the numerous investigations and one after another, rule out the possible causes, finally getting to the diagnosis. For me, that’s no fun at all. Although I still don’t know whether I am going to become a surgeon or not (embarassing for me, since I’m going to be done with med-school this year), its pretty fascinating. If I were to work in a country whether investigations aren’t that expensive, I would definitely just perform a small examination and take a short history, sending off my patient to get a myriad of investigations, reporting to me after a while, with the diagnosis in his reports.

Treatment may not be needed for an eschar if it is part of the natural healing process. However, if an eschar looks like it may have a wound infection – symptoms can include oozing fluid such as pus or blood, your clinician will likely recommend topical treatment or debridement to help control and remove the infection.
Examination of the ears is demonstrated in this physical examination video. The presenter works through the complete clinical assessment of the ears and the associated hearing tests. It is a training resource for students learning ear and hearing examination. It can support classroom teaching and independent study in this subject area.
This surgical video shows the laparoscopic removal of a tubal (ectopic) pregnancy — a pregnancy implanted in a fallopian tube, which cannot continue and requires treatment. Presented for gynecological surgery education. Educational only — not medical advice.
The human brain is the command center for the human nervous system. It receives input from the sensory organs and sends output to the muscles. The human brain has the same basic structure as other mammal brains, but is larger in relation to body size than any other brains.
