Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Training
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Percutaneous renal access is a key urological procedure.
  • The impact of residency training on long-term practice patterns is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effect of residency training in percutaneous renal access on urologists' subsequent practice patterns.
  • To determine if training influences the performance of percutaneous renal procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Surveys were sent to urology residents who graduated between 1981 and 2001.
  • Statistical analysis assessed the correlation between training and current practice.
  • Subgroup analysis included those over 10 years post-residency.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • 92% of trained urologists perform percutaneous procedures versus 33% of untrained (p <0.001).
  • Trained urologists perform an average of 14.0 procedures annually, compared to 3.3 for untrained (p = 0.02).
  • Reasons for not performing access include radiologist preference and time constraints.

Conclusions:

  • Residency training in percutaneous renal access is linked to increased performance of related procedures.
  • Continuing medical education is recommended to sustain proficiency in percutaneous renal access techniques.
