A mentor training program effectively teaches laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) skills. This approach ensures patient safety and optimal oncologic outcomes, with a reproducible method for a shorter learning curve.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Education

Context:

  • Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) is a complex procedure requiring specialized training.
  • Evaluating the efficacy of structured mentor-guided training programs is crucial for surgical skill acquisition.

Purpose:

  • To assess the outcomes of a mentor training program for laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).
  • To compare operative times, blood loss, oncologic control, and hospital stay across different training group configurations.

Summary:

  • 105 LRP procedures were analyzed across three groups: mentor-led, trainee-led with mentor assistance, and trainee-led with resident assistance.
  • Operative times decreased progressively only in the mentor-led group.
  • No significant differences were observed in blood loss, surgical-oncologic control, pathological stage, or hospital stay among the groups.

Impact:

  • Mentor presence is key to effectively and safely teaching LRP skills.
  • The training program is reproducible and associated with a shorter learning curve.
  • The program does not increase patient risk or compromise surgical/oncologic outcomes.
