3 Must-Watch Sessions You Shouldn’t Miss!

Important Clinical Concepts. Expert Insights. Better Residency Preparation. 

Dear Residents, 

Residency is demanding, and with busy duty hours, it is easy to miss important academic sessions. But some topics deserve a place on your watchlist, whether you are preparing for examinations, revising clinical concepts, or strengthening your understanding of day-to-day practice. 

We’ve picked 3 important sessions from last month that deserve your attention. From understanding a cost-effective approach to HSG to revising a high-yield labour complication and exploring uterine tumours, these sessions offer valuable learning for OBG residents. 

Missed them earlier? This is your chance to catch up! 

1. HSG vs SSG: A Cost-Effective Approach | Technique, Contrast & X-Ray Views | Dr Aditya Nimbkar

Why should you watch this session?

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) and sonosalpingography (SSG) are important investigations in the evaluation of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. For OBG residents, understanding their techniques, interpretation, and practical applications is essential for both clinical learning and examination preparation. 

In this session, you will explore HSG as a cost-effective alternative, with a focus on the equipment used, contrast selection, and the X-ray views required for interpretation. 

What you’ll learn:

  • HSG vs SSG: Understand the practical differences between the two procedures and the factors that influence the choice of investigation. 
  • Contrast selection: Learn about non-ionic, water-soluble contrast such as iohexol and why contrast properties matter during HSG. 
  • Equipment and technique: Get familiar with the Leech Wilkinson cannula and the basic procedural approach. 
  • X-ray views and interpretation: Understand the purpose of pre-procedure, immediate post-injection, and delayed images. 
  • Clinical and exam relevance: Revise the assessment of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes, including appearances associated with conditions such as Asherman syndrome and tubal pathology. 

This session connects procedural knowledge with practical decision-making, helping you build a clearer understanding of an investigation commonly discussed in OBG training. 

Don’t miss this practical discussion if you want to strengthen your understanding of infertility investigations.

2. Deep Transverse Arrest (DTA) Explained | Occipitoposterior Position | Dr. Raina Chawla

Deep Transverse Arrest is an important topic in obstetrics that residents should understand clearly, especially when revising abnormal labour and fetal head positions. 

In this session, Dr. Raina Chawla discusses Deep Transverse Arrest in the context of the occipitoposterior position, helping residents revisit a high-yield concept relevant to examinations, viva preparation, and clinical understanding. 


Why is this a must-watch?

  • Strengthen your understanding of Deep Transverse Arrest. 
  • Revise its association with fetal head position and the mechanism of labour. 
  • Revisit an important topic for OBG examinations, short notes, and viva discussions. 

When revising obstetrics, understanding the mechanism behind a complication is just as important as remembering its definition. This session is a useful addition to your revision list. 

3. COBG Long video Leiomyosarcoma and other Uterine Tumors | Dr. Tejas Gopalkrishnan

Uterine tumours are an important area of gynaecology, and understanding the distinction between benign and malignant conditions is essential for residents. 

This long-form session by Dr. Tejas Gopalkrishnan focuses on leiomyosarcoma and other uterine tumours, offering an opportunity to revisit an important topic in gynaecological learning. 


Why should you add this session to your watchlist?

  • Revise key concepts related to leiomyosarcoma and other uterine tumours. 
  • Strengthen your understanding of an important area of gynaecology. 
  • Build a stronger foundation for examination revision and clinical discussions. 

For residents, a structured understanding of uterine pathology helps connect theoretical knowledge with clinical reasoning. Use this session to revisit the topic and identify areas that need further revision. 

Your Next Step in OBG Learning

One missed lecture can become a  gap, but it is never too late to catch up. 

Make time for these three sessions, revisit the concepts you find challenging, and continue building your clinical understanding alongside your residency schedule.
