Abstract
<jats:p>Introduction/Objective. Information provided as both visually and verbally is learned better than information received through either pathway alone. Animation ensures this dual coding. It gives us the possibility to display abstract details of operation that cannot be observed otherwise. This is especially important for an operation as common as cesarean section (CS). Although CS is the most common operation in women, animations of uterus suturing are very few. The aim was to develop a 3D-animation of uterus suturing in CS by Vejnovic modification. Methods. The project was done 2015?2018 as collaboration between the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Technical Sciences at the University of Novi Sad. The development of the animation included following steps: filming simulation of uterus suturing on sponge model, interdisciplinary discussion, making storyboard, recording sound, animating using Blender software (Blender Online Community, Amsterdam, Netherlands). Results. The animation lasts for 10 minutes and 17 seconds. The film was designed to be self-explanatory. In the film uterus suturing technique was presented in detail. Important segments are additionally marked in the video and stressed in the background audio explanation. The educational 3D animation of uterus suturing in cesarean section ? modification Vejnovic is available from: https://youtu.be/zY98Mzyupx8. Conclusion. The animation shows advantages and benefits in surgery education, which might increase safety for the patient and the surgeon. The animation could help standardize the CS technique and disseminate precise surgical instructions, ensuring the same obstetrical outcomes.</jats:p>
