Ureters01:22

Ureters

2.2K
The ureters are retroperitoneal tubes located on either side of the vertebral column. They are responsible for transporting urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. These tubes have thick walls and are approximately 25-30 cm long. Their diameter is around 10 mm at the renal pelvis, gradually narrowing to 1 mm as the ureter obliquely enters the posterior bladder wall through the ureteric orifices. The shape of these orifices is slit-like, which helps to prevent urine backflow toward the...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

1.0K
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

6.6K
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Robotic surgery requires specialized training.
  • Current simulation methods may lack engagement.
  • Gamification offers a novel approach to enhance surgical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a gamified dry-lab curriculum for urology robotic surgical training.
  • To evaluate the curriculum's effectiveness through a multi-institutional inter-residency tournament.

Main Methods:

  • Developed three dry-lab and one anatomic simulation module.
  • Validated curriculum via expert review and pilot testing.
  • Implemented curriculum in a multi-institutional tournament with pre/post surveys and performance analysis.

Main Results:

  • Gamification increased simulation practice from 25% to 100% in a pilot cohort (p=0.011).
  • Tournament showed strong construct validity (score correlated with postgraduate year and module difficulty).
  • Internal consistency of scoring was good (Cronbach's alpha = 0.87).

Conclusions:

  • The gamified curriculum effectively increases resident engagement in simulation.
  • It provides a practical method for enhancing robotic surgical training.
  • Fosters inter-institutional collaboration in surgical education.
