Objective: Different simulation modalities may be utilised in a curricular fashion to benefit from the strengths of each training model. The aim of this study is to evaluate a novel multi-modality ureterorenoscopy (URS) simulation curriculum in terms of educational value, content validity, transfer of skills and inter-rater reliability. Methods: This international prospective study recruited urology residents (n = 46) with ≤ 10 URS experience and no prior simulation training. Participants were guided through each phase of the expert-developed SIMULATE URS curriculum by trainers and followed-up in the operating room (OR). Video recordings were obtained during training. A post-training evaluation survey was distributed to evaluate content validity and educational value, using descriptive statistics. Performance was evaluated using the objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) scale to measure improvement in scores throughout the curriculum. Pearson's correlation coefficient and Cohen's kappa tests were utilised to investigate correlation and agreement between raters. Results: Participants reported gaining OR-transferrable skills (Mean: 4.33 ± 0.67) and demonstrated marked improvement in throughout the curriculum, transferred to the OR for both semi-rigid URS (p = 0.004) and flexible URS (p = 0.007). 70% of participants were successfully followed-up in the OR (n = 32). No differences were identified with the additional use of fresh frozen cadavers (p = 0.85, p = 0.90) and the URO Mentor VR simulator (p = 0.13, p = 0.22). A moderate level of correlation was noted on the video OSATS assessments, between two expert assessors (r = 0.70), but a poor agreement with the live rating. Conclusion: The SIMULATE URS training curriculum received high educational value from participants, who demonstrated statistically significant improvement with consecutive cases throughout the curriculum and transferability of skills to the OR in both semi-rigid and flexible URS.

Objectives: To develop a wet laboratory training model for learning core laparoscopic surgical skills and evaluating learners' competency level outside the operating room. Methods: Participants completed three tasks (task 1: tissue dissection around the aorta; task 2: tissue dissection and division of the renal artery; task 3: renal parenchymal closure). Each performance was video recorded and subsequently evaluated by two experts, according to the Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills and task‐specific metrics that we developed (Assessment Sheet of Laparoscopic Skills in Wet Lab score). Mean scores were used for analyses. The subjective mental workload was also assessed (NASA Task Load Index). Results: The 54 participants included 32 urologists, eight young trainees and 14 medical students. A total of 13 participants were categorized as experts (≥50 laparoscopic surgeries), eight as intermediates (10–49) and 33 as novices (0–9). There were significant differences in the Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills and Assessment Sheet of Laparoscopic Skills in Wet Lab scores among the three groups in all three tasks. Higher NASA Task Load Index scores were observed in novices, and there were significant differences in tasks 1 (Kruskal–Wallis test, P = 0.0004) and 2 (P = 0.0002), and marginal differences in task 3 (P = 0.0745) among the three groups. Conclusions: Our training model has good construct validity, and differences in the NASA Task Load Index score reflect previous laparoscopic surgical experiences. Our findings show the ability to assess both laparoscopic surgical skills and mental workloads, which could help educators comprehend trainees' level outside the operating room. Given the decreasing opportunity to carry out pure laparoscopic surgeries because of the dissemination of robotic surgery, especially in urology, our model can offer practical training opportunities.

Objectives: To report the study protocol for the first international multicentre randomized controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of simulation‐based surgical training and the development process for an evidence‐based training curriculum, to be delivered as an educational intervention. Participants and Methods: This prospective, international, multicentre randomized controlled clinical and educational trial will recruit urology surgical trainees who must not have performed ≥10 of the selected index procedure, ureterorenoscopy (URS). Participants will be randomized to simulation‐based training (SBT) or non‐simulation‐based training (NSBT), the latter of which is the current sole standard of training globally. The primary outcome is the number of procedures required to achieve proficiency, where proficiency is defined as achieving a learning curve plateau of 28 or more on an Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) assessment scale, for three consecutive operations, without any complications. All participants will be followed up either until they complete 25 procedures or for 18 months. Development of the URS SBT curriculum took place through a two‐round Delphi process. Results: A total of 47 respondents, consisting of trainees (n = 24) with URS experience and urolithiasis specialists (n = 23), participated in round 1 of the Delphi process. Specialists (n = 10) finalized the content of the curriculum in round 2. The developed interventional curriculum consists of initial theoretic knowledge through didactic lectures followed by select tasks and cases on the URO‐Mentor (Simbionix, Lod, Israel) VR Simulator, Uro‐Scopic Trainer (Limbs & Things, Bristol, UK) and Scope Trainer (Mediskills, Manchester, UK) models for both semi‐rigid and flexible URS. Respondents also selected relevant non‐technical skills scenarios and cadaveric simulation tasks as additional components, with delivery subject to local availability. Conclusions: SIMULATE is the first multicentre trial investigating the effect and transferability of supplementary SBT on operating performance and patient outcomes. An evidence‐based training curriculum is presented, developed with expert and trainee input. Participants will be followed and the primary outcome, number of procedures required to proficiency, will be reported alongside key clinical secondary outcomes, (ISCRTN 12260261).

- Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of evidence of the Endo-Uro Trainer (SAMED, Dresden, Germany) for semi-rigid ureteroscopy. Methods: Novice (n = 29), intermediate-level (n = 25), and expert (n = 24) urological surgeons were recruited to participate in the study. Novices were allocated randomly to Groups A and B, where A performed two set procedures using the already validated Uro-Scopic Trainer (Limbs and Things, Bristol, UK), and Group B used the Endo-Uro trainer. Subsequently they were crossed over to perform the same two procedures using the other model. Intermediate and expert groups performed the same procedure on the Endo-Uro trainer only. Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) and the procedural times were collected and analyzed. All participants were invited to complete a final evaluation survey. Results: The evaluation survey revealed a realism rating in all aspects, with a mean Likert rating of 4.04/5. Significant differences were observed in performance time between novices and experts (p = 0.0014), and between intermediates and experts (p = 0.0113). OSATS scores differed significantly between all groups (p < 0.0001). Group B novices showed statistically significant improvement in performance time (p = 0.0012) and OSATS scores (p = 0.0439) after the crossover. Significant differences in performance time (p = 0.0025) between groups A and B were also observed post-crossover. Conclusions: This study demonstrated content validity for the Endo-Uro Trainer model. In addition, the model was shown to be capable of differentiating levels of experience, which contributes to the acceptance of the validity hypothesis. Improvement in performance using the model demonstrates its effectiveness for training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives To identify and review the currently available simulators for prostate surgery and to explore the evidence supporting their validity for training purposes. Materials and Methods A review of the literature between 1999 and 2014 was performed. The search terms included a combination of urology, prostate surgery, robotic prostatectomy, laparoscopic prostatectomy, transurethral resection of the prostate ( TURP), simulation, virtual reality, animal model, human cadavers, training, assessment, technical skills, validation and learning curves. Furthermore, relevant abstracts from the American Urological Association, European Association of Urology, British Association of Urological Surgeons and World Congress of Endourology meetings, between 1999 and 2013, were included. Only studies related to prostate surgery simulators were included; studies regarding other urological simulators were excluded. Results A total of 22 studies that carried out a validation study were identified. Five validated models and/or simulators were identified for TURP, one for photoselective vaporisation of the prostate, two for holmium enucleation of the prostate, three for laparoscopic radical prostatectomy ( LRP) and four for robot-assisted surgery. Of the TURP simulators, all five have demonstrated content validity, three face validity and four construct validity. The Green Light laser simulator has demonstrated face, content and construct validities. The Kansai HoLEP Simulator has demonstrated face and content validity whilst the UroSim HoLEP Simulator has demonstrated face, content and construct validity. All three animal models for LRP have been shown to have construct validity whilst the chicken skin model was also content valid. Only two robotic simulators were identified with relevance to robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, both of which demonstrated construct validity. Conclusions A wide range of different simulators are available for prostate surgery, including synthetic bench models, virtual-reality platforms, animal models, human cadavers, distributed simulation and advanced training programmes and modules. The currently validated simulators can be used by healthcare organisations to provide supplementary training sessions for trainee surgeons. Further research should be conducted to validate simulated environments, to determine which simulators have greater efficacy than others and to assess the cost-effectiveness of the simulators and the transferability of skills learnt. With surgeons investigating new possibilities for easily reproducible and valid methods of training, simulation offers great scope for implementation alongside traditional methods of training.

Objectives To assess face, content and construct validity, and feasibility and acceptability of the Green Light™ Simulator as a training tool for photoselective vaporisation of the prostate ( PVP), and to establish learning curves and develop an evidence-based training curriculum. Subjects and Methods This prospective, observational and comparative study, recruited novice (25 participants), intermediate (14) and expert-level urologists (seven) from the UK and Europe at the 28th European Association of Urological Surgeons Annual Meeting 2013. A group of novices (12 participants) performed 10 sessions of subtask training modules followed by a long operative case, whereas a second group (13) performed five sessions of a given case module. Intermediate and expert groups performed all training modules once, followed by one operative case. The outcome measures for learning curves and construct validity were time to task, coagulation time, vaporisation time, average sweep speed, average laser distance, blood loss, operative errors, and instrument cost. Face and content validity, feasibility and acceptability were addressed through a quantitative survey. Results Construct validity was demonstrated in two of five training modules ( P = 0.038; P = 0.018) and in a considerable number of case metrics ( P = 0.034). Learning curves were seen in all five training modules ( P < 0.001) and significant reduction in case operative time ( P < 0.001) and error ( P = 0.017) were seen. An evidence-based training curriculum, to help trainees acquire transferable skills, was produced using the results. Conclusion This study has shown the Green Light Simulator to be a valid and useful training tool for PVP. It is hoped that by using the training curriculum for the Green Light Simulator, novice trainees can acquire skills and knowledge to a predetermined level of proficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
