Formal laparoscopic training significantly increases urological surgical practice patterns one year post-course. Urologists reported more procedures and patient inquiries, indicating consistent adoption of laparoscopic techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Education
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • The long-term impact of laparoscopic training on urological surgical practice remains unclear.
  • Assessing practice pattern changes post-training is crucial for surgical education evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess urologist practice patterns one year after a formal laparoscopic surgery training course.
  • To compare these patterns with data collected three months post-training.

Main Methods:

  • 163 urologists attended a 2-day laparoscopic surgery training seminar.
  • A 20-question survey was administered at 3 and 12 months post-course to assess laparoscopic experience.
  • Data were analyzed for changes in practice patterns, additional training, and factors influencing adoption.

Main Results:

  • Significant increases were observed between 3 and 12 months in identified candidates, proportion of caseload, patient inquiries, and procedures performed.
  • Additional post-course training correlated significantly with clinical use at both time points.
  • Urologists attending with a partner were more likely to perform laparoscopy at 1 year.

Conclusions:

  • Formal laparoscopic training leads to consistent and increased use of laparoscopic techniques in urological practice.
  • Continued training and collaborative learning appear to enhance skill adoption and maintenance.
