ENTRY project workshop: Urological cadaver lab and simulation-based training

Information

RAZIONALE

A complete urology training programme must embrace multiple requirements to produce competent, skilled and trained urologists. The new generation of young urologist is prone to more drawbacks from the operating room than ever, as more complex and minimally invasive procedures are being introduced. Indeed, the increasing uptake of new technologies and minimally invasive procedures in surgery has been associated with prolonged learning curves. This has become more critical during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the dramatic slowdown of urology residents’ learning curve. Standardized surgical survey for all European countries confirmed that surgical exposure of European urologists for invasive procedures, confidence in performing these procedures, and overall satisfaction with training is low. Together with the ethical concerns about training on patients and the demands imposed by a zero-complication ethos expected by patients, this has pushed surgical trainers to challenge their training paradigms and apprenticeship model.

All these reasons have prompted exploration of alternatives to learning in the operating room. With influences from the military and aviation industries, which heavily depend on simulation-based training, there has been widespread adoption of surgical simulation. Recent evidence showed that this strategy enhances progression at least along the initial phase of the learning curve. Effective simulation can provide safe and controlled environments outside of the OR in which young urologists can acquire novel surgical skills without endangering patient safety.
