ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Rubber band ligation is a minimally invasive outpatient hemorrhoid treatment with low cost, low complication rates, and rapid realization. It is performed with the aid of an anoscope and uses a rubber ring that surrounds the hemorrhoidal nipple, causing compression of the vascular structures of the tissue, leading to necrosis and remission of the hemorrhoid. No device for training this essential procedure for treating this pathology has been identified in the literature. Therefore, we aim to develop a low-cost simulator for training hemorrhoidal rubber ligation.Methods:
The model was constructed using PVC pipe wrapped in neoprene fabric. Hemorrhoidal nipples and the pectineal line were also simulated using fabric and sewing threads. The procedure is performed with conventional anoscope and ligature forceps.Conclusion:
The device in question is a low-cost simulation model designed to train the skills required to perform a rubber band ligation and review the basic anatomy of the anal canal during anoscopy. Given these qualities, the model can be used for academic training due to its low cost and simplicity of application. (AU)Palavras-chave
