Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) - Medical Animation
This medical animation shows a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy. Three port locations are shown, followed by inflation of the abdomen with carbon dioxide gas through the umbilical port. The laparoscope is inserted into the umbilical port, and additional instruments are inserted into the other ports. A laparoscopic view of the pelvic interior is shown, including the uterus and surrounding tissues. The urinary bladder is pulled away from the uterus, revealing the upper portion of the attached vagina. The fallopian tubes, various uterine ligaments, and upper vagina are cut away from the uterus. The uterus is pulled out of the body through the vagina. The vaginal incision is closed, the abdomen is deflated, the instruments are removed, and the ports are closed with sutures.
"For us, the defining feature of effective demonstrative evidence is
whether, by itself, the piece will tell the story of the case. Medical legal
Art provides our firm with illustrations and animations that are clear and
persuasive. Their exhibits tell the story in a way that allows the jury to
understand a very complex subject, very quickly."
James D. Horwitz Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, P.C. Bridgeport, CT
"I wanted to thank you for the terrific job you did illustrating my client's
injuries. The case was settled at the pre-suit mediation, and I believe a
good part of the success we had was due to the medical legal art you
prepared.
Your work received the ultimate compliment at the conclusion of the mediation. The hospital risk manager took the exhibit with them at the
conclusion of mediation, and will be using it to train nurses on how to
prevent bed sores..."
Steven G. Koeppel Troy, Yeslow & Koeppel, P.A. Fort Myers, FL
"Medical Legal Art has always performed quality and efficient work. The
doctors that review the exhibits are always amazed at the precise

"A few words about The Doe Report: recently in a brachial plexus injury
case, we used an image from The Doe Report to demonstrate the injury. We
downloaded the PDF file image, and were amazed at the quality. The hard
copies that you sent were even more clear. As well, we could not have been
happier when you customized the image and reversed the injury from the left
shoulder to the right shoulder, which is where our client's injury was.
The speed and cost-effectiveness of the product made it the perfect tool for
our purposes. We will use The Doe Report again in future cases."
