Emergent Cesarean Section in a Bandl's Ring Patient: An Obstetrics and Gynecology Simulation Scenario

Abstract

Bandl's ring is a rare pathology, although its incidence is thought to be rising. Training curricula for treating this condition is almost nonexistent. Patients who present with this disease require specific management and treatment. Practicing these techniques in a medical simulation lab allows trainees to hone their skills in a safe, inconsequential environment. We present a simulated case in which a patient presents with a Bandl's ring.
