Matylda Kotyzová, a graduate of the Biomedical Engineering study program, under the supervision of doc. Ing. Jiří Hozman, Ph.D., from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, focused her thesis on the development and experimental verification of a clinical simulator for training in electrosurgical conization of the cervix. The simulator uses a ballistic gelatin phantom, thus eliminating problems associated with smoke. It has proven to be an effective tool for training and evaluating surgical procedures. Although it is an experimental device with some simplification of anatomical structures and a limited number of participants, the results achieved indicate its potential for use in teaching and developing gynecological skills. This issue was addressed in collaboration with MUDr. Radovan Turyn, Ph.D., from the ÚPMD in Prague-Podolí, who was the main expert guarantor for this issue.
In terms of the contribution of this thesis, it is necessary to mention its relevance to society as a whole in relation to the incidence of cancer in women, because no one in the Czech Republic systematically addresses the quality of procedures, or the preparation of doctors and medical students for these procedures on simulators. Given the number of procedures performed in the Czech Republic and the results of international studies in recent years, which link these procedures to the risk of premature birth in first-time mothers, the results of this thesis are of considerable importance.
