Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo introduce a training model for laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty.
METHODSThe model of ureteropelvic junction obstruction was simulated using pig kidney and chicken crop. With the model placed in a training box, 8 residents without laparoscopic experience but with basic technical training performed 10 rounds of anastomosis according to the standard operation procedures. For each resident, the operating time and quality of the operation were recorded and assessed.
RESULTSAll the 8 residents successfully completed the training. The operating time decreased from 72.70∓8.26 min in the first training session to 54.50∓7.69 min in the last training session, and the anastomosis error score decreased from 5.60∓1.35 to 2.50∓1.58 min, showing significant differences between the recordings (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThis simple training model allows effective simulation of the surgical procedures of laparoscopic pyeloplasty and is suitable for training surgeons without laparoscopic experiences.
