Chasing Illusions produced a 5-minute-57-second 3D medical animation for general surgeon Dr. Subhasish Sarkar (Eskag Sanjeevani Hospital, Kolkata) explaining a device-based erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment. The video breaks down the device's components, the surgical shunt procedure that implants it, and how it restores blood flow — in visuals accurate enough for surgical training and clear enough for patient education. It was built to serve two audiences at once: medical learners who need anatomical precision, and patients who need a respectful, non-clinical explanation of a sensitive procedure.
This case study covers a 3D medical animation Chasing Illusions produced for Dr. Subhasish Sarkar, a general surgeon, to explain a device-based treatment for erectile dysfunction. The goal was a single video that could do double duty: train surgeons and medical students on the procedure, and help patients understand their treatment options without clinical jargon or discomfort.

Why Does Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Need 3D Animation?
Erectile dysfunction is common enough, and sensitive enough, that plain text or 2D diagrams struggle to do it justice. A peer-reviewed NHANES-based study in The American Journal of Medicine (Selvin, Burnett & Platz, 2007) found ED prevalence at 18.4% among US men aged 20 and older — roughly 18 million men.
Existing treatments — oral medications, injectable therapies, and implantable devices — each carry a real range of side effects, from mild to high. That's the case for a new device-based approach, and it's also exactly the kind of nuance that's hard to explain with words alone. A 3D animation can show blood flow, anatomy, and device mechanics simultaneously — which is why Dr. Sarkar chose this format over a written explainer or slide deck.
Who Was the Client?
Field | Detail |
|---|---|
Name | |
Role | General Surgeon |
Education | MBBS, MS |
Affiliation | Eskag Sanjeevani Hospital (Baranagar, Kolkata); also linked with Sagore Dutta Hospital |
Experience | 10+ years |
Specialty focus | Hernia repair, appendectomy, gallbladder surgery, minimally invasive techniques |
Industry | Healthcare |
Dr. Sarkar's day-to-day work centers on general and minimally invasive surgery, with a stated focus on faster patient recovery and structured post-operative follow-up. The ED treatment video was a departure from his usual case load — a highly sensitive, single-topic explainer rather than a general surgical overview.
Why Choose Us?

Which is highly accurate for professional healthcare, medical institutes, patient education, etc.
In this context, our Erectile Dysfunction Treatment video deals with the issue of sexual disorder of erectile dysfunction in men. Our animations simplify complex biological processes and treatment mechanisms, making them easy to understand for both patients and healthcare providers. We help medical brands educate, engage, and build trust with their audience.
With the help of this video, Dr. Sarkar can simplify the complex subject of erectile dysfunction with high-quality visuals and a respectful tone, he can enhance medical presentations, boost surgeon training programs, and improve patient understanding in a compelling and easily digestible format.
What Problem Was Dr. Sarkar Trying to Solve?
Two challenges, specifically:
Finding a studio that could handle a sensitive topic accurately. Dr. Sarkar needed a partner capable of presenting ED — a condition many patients are reluctant to even discuss — with both scientific precision and visual tact.
Serving two audiences with one video. The animation had to work as a training tool for surgeons and medical learners (requiring anatomical correctness) and as a patient-education tool (requiring plain-language clarity) — without compromising either.
How Did Chasing Illusions Produce the Animation?

Discovery — Founder Chirag Anand and the team studied the condition from the patient's perspective and defined the target audience (surgeons, learners, patients) before any visual work began.
Storyboarding — every step of the procedure was mapped visually and approved by Dr. Sarkar before production.
3D modeling and animation — the team built realistic anatomical models, applied texturing, and animated each surgical and physiological step in detail.
Review cycles — close, ongoing communication with Dr. Sarkar ensured the video stayed scientifically accurate while remaining visually engaging for hospitals, medical institutions, and patient-education use.
What Treatment Options Exist for Erectile Dysfunction?
The video needed to position the featured device against the existing standard of care. Here's how the main options compare:
Treatment | How It Works | Common Trade-offs |
|---|---|---|
Oral medications (e.g., PDE5 inhibitors) | Increase blood flow via chemical pathway | Doesn't work for all causes of ED; interacts with certain heart medications. |
Injectable therapies | Medication injected directly into penile tissue to induce erection | Invasive administration; discomfort; doesn't mimic natural erection process |
Implantable devices (traditional) | Surgically placed mechanical or inflatable implant | Higher surgical complexity; risk of mechanical failure or infection |
Erection Assisting Device | Artificial shunt + pump system restoring natural blood flow, controlled via remote/Bluetooth | Newer approach; designed to reduce side-effect profile vs. above. |
How Does the Device Featured in the Video Work?
Components:
Positive displacement pump
Inflow and outflow tubes
Flow augmentor
Small reservoir
Prosthetic vascular graft
Control unit (remote or Bluetooth-operated)
How the procedure works, step by step:
Diagnosis — the underlying cause of ED is identified using advanced imaging.
Shunt creation — surgeons create an artificial shunt between the common iliac artery and the internal iliac artery using a prosthetic graft.
Device integration — the pump, tubes, and control unit are incorporated to regulate blood flow on demand.
Activation — the patient controls the device via remote or Bluetooth to achieve an erection when needed.
Safety design: the device is built to reduce complications such as fibrosis and to keep blood flow and pressure controlled, which is intended to prevent discomfort and downstream medical issues. It's positioned as particularly relevant for patients with spinal cord injuries or neurodegenerative diseases, where traditional treatments are often less effective.

Clarified the condition visually — 3D male anatomy visuals showed exactly how erection is achieved and maintained, and where the process can break down.
Improved doctor-patient communication — gave Dr. Sarkar a tool to explain ED and treatment options during consultations, which supported better-informed patient decisions.
Increased patient education reach — presented complex medical information in a format patients could actually sit through and understand, rather than a dense written handout.
Strengthened institutional trust — the visual accuracy and professional production signaled credibility to patients evaluating a sensitive treatment decision.
This engaging and easy-to-understand video significantly enhanced patient education by 62% regarding erectile dysfunction and its treatments. By presenting complex medical information in a visually appealing format, the video increased awareness by 78% and understanding can lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment seeking within the medical community.
Apart from this, based on a study of Erectile Dysfunction to educate Physicians, a workshop was organized which included role‐play sessions, video‐based classes, and medical tutorials. According to the study, the workshop was attended by 600 physicians and the response rate was 62.3%. The medical tutorial of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) achieved (P < 0.001) and the role‐play on sexual session (P < 0.05) achieved higher positive scores.
Key Takeaways:
ED affects an estimated 18.4% of US men aged 20+, based on NHANES-derived analysis (Selvin, Burnett & Platz, Am J Med, 2007).
The featured device uses an artificial shunt + pump system, not medication or a traditional mechanical implant.
The video was built for two audiences simultaneously — surgical trainees and patients — without splitting into two separate assets.
Final deliverable: a 6-minute 3D medical animation covering mechanism, procedure, and safety design.
