The plane in front of the rectum
Allow about two minutes for two rounds. This scenario is teaching content; the score supports revision and does not assess clinical competence.
The scenario
- Robotic radical prostatectomy, posterior dissection.
- The seminal vesicles are dissected.
What you see
- A thin, pale, fibrous layer lies behind the prostate.
- Beneath it, a yellow fatty plane; beneath that, a pink muscular wall that moves with the anaesthetist's ventilation.
