    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Engineering
    • Medical Device Design

    Background:

    • Rectal operations require specific patient positioning for optimal surgical access.
    • Existing positioning devices can be costly or complex to implement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an inexpensive plywood device for patient support during rectal surgery.
    • To provide a practical solution for supine and prone positioning in rectal operations.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and construction of a plywood-based patient support system.
    • Evaluation of the device's utility in simulated supine and prone surgical scenarios.

    Main Results:

    • The described plywood device is inexpensive to fabricate.
    • The device effectively supports patients in both supine and prone positions for rectal procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • This affordable plywood device presents a viable option for surgical teams requiring patient support during rectal operations.
    • The simplicity and low cost make this device potentially widely adoptable in various surgical settings.
