Summary

Gynecologic residents trained in routine intraoperative cystoscopy gain essential skills for evaluating urinary tract injuries. This training successfully enables graduates to obtain hospital privileges for performing cystoscopies post-residency.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Intraoperative cystoscopy is crucial for evaluating potential urinary tract injuries during gynecologic procedures.
  • Assessing the adequacy of resident training in this skill is vital for ensuring patient safety and procedural success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate if routine intraoperative cystoscopy training within gynecologic residency programs equips graduates with sufficient competency for hospital credentialing.
  • To establish a standardized training and certification process for intraoperative cystoscopy in obstetrics and gynecology.

Main Methods:

  • A curriculum was developed to train residents in intraoperative cystoscopic evaluation of lower urinary tract injury.
  • Competency was assessed through oral examinations and direct observation, with certification issued by the Program Director.

  • Certification documents were provided to postresidency hospital credentials committees.

    • Main Results:

    • Over 400 transurethral cystoscopic evaluations and 50 transvesical microcystoscopies were performed.
    • Twenty-five residents were certified as fully trained in intraoperative diagnostic cystoscopy.
    • All certified graduates successfully obtained intraoperative cystoscopy privileges at their subsequent practices.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating cystoscopic urinary tract evaluation into gynecologic surgical training is effective medical practice.
    • This training provides a viable pathway for residents to obtain hospital privileges for intraoperative cystoscopy.
    • The program ensures graduates are proficient and credentialed for this critical surgical skill.
