title: [Method of the reconstruction of the lumen shape in the hollow and tubular anatomical structures].
abstract: This article describes a new method of the reconstruction of the lumen of hollow and tubular anatomical structures based on the application of polyurethane foam used in construction assembly. Preparations obtained by this method, are characterized by lightness, convenience of assembly and transportation. The making of such preparation does not require a lot of time. Preparations are successfully employed in anatomical museums and in the process of teaching. This method may also be employed for scientific purposes as well as in for realization of practical surgical tasks for removal of mucous membrane (demucosation) of the hollow organs.
