Having a surgical simulation model allows residents to learn the steps and tissue dynamics involved with procedure in risk-free environment. The previous circumcision practice used within Augusta University Obstetrics Department did not realistically simulate procedure. 3D modeling printing were utilized create molds, which then injected silicone. resulting silicone was found have highly realistic dynamics. Future obstetrics department will use completed circumcisions.
