Abstract:
Objective: To design and prepare intensive training models for key steps of complicated laparoscopic urology surgery,and to use them for training of new learners. Methods: Based on the key steps for laparoscopic surgery in urology, such as radical prostatectomy, nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) and pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), we prepared the models of retropubic vesicourethral anastomosis, partial nephrectomy and pyeloplasty UPJO using intestines of pigs and chickens, kidney of pigs, swim bladder and ureter of pigs, etc. The models were used to train the new learners and the training outcomes were observed. Results: The models of retropubic vesicourethral anastomosis, partial nephrectomy and pyeloplasty UPJO were successfully prepared, and they satisfactorily simulated various procedures; they costed less, were easy to make, and had rich resources. The models were suitable for training of new learners. After intensive training with the models, the new learners could master the skills and became more self-confident. Conclusion: We have successfully prepared the models for intensive training of the key steps of complicated laparoscopic surgery in urology; the model can meet the demand for training of the new learners.
