Abstract

Pediatric straddle injury is a common cause of genital trauma in girls. Most straddle injuries occur between ages 2 and 6 and involve the external genitalia, vestibule, perineum or posterior fourchette. It is important for OBGYN physicians to be trained to manage a pediatric patient with a straddle injury. There are no current tools available to teach the examination and repair of pediatric straddle injuries, however printed 3D models have been used in other areas of medical education. Three- dimensional printing can develop a surgical model that has the same tactile feel as normal tissue. The purpose of this study is to determine the acceptability of a 3D vulvar model among OBGYN residents as a teaching modality for pediatric straddle injury repair.
