Abstract

We present our experience with surgical training programs development for basic and advanced laparoscopic urological surgery. Both training programs consist of 21 and 28 hours respectively. Basic surgical programs start with general knowledge of ergonomics and instrumentation, there after, attendants acquire basic skills on physical simulator. Posteriorly, techniques on animal model are undertaken, always assisted by an expert. Advanced activities start with surgical tasks on physical simulator. Posteriorly, reconstructive urological surgical techniques are undertaken on animal model, focused on partial nephrectomy, and always assisted by an expert tutor. We present our results on exophytic renal tumour model creation based chromatic Alginate.
