Simulation has emerged as an effective solution to increasing modern constraints in surgical
training. It is recognized that a larger proportion of surgical complications occur during the …

The role of ESWL in the management of urolithiasis is decreasing, whereas FURS is
constantly progressing. Quality and safety of intracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy using …

Purpose To compare iPad-assisted (Apple Inc., Cupertino, USA) percutaneous access to the
kidney to the standard puncturing technique for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) …

Objective To evaluate Thiel‐embalmed cadavers (TEC) as a training model for
percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), more specifically for ultrasound (US)‐guided supine …

Purpose: Three-Dimensional (3D) could help for planning and creating an optimal access
route in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedure by achieving a more accurate …

Objectives: Urolithiasis is one of the most common presentations in urological practice and it
is becoming increasingly important to provide structured, simulation-based training using …

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of mixed reality-assisted puncture navigation
(MRAPN) in percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL). Methods Two hundred patients …

Objective: We sought to develop and validate a low-cost, high-fidelity robotic surgical model
for the urethrovesical anastomosis component of the robot-assisted laparoscopic radical …

Abstract Purpose of the Review We investigate articles in the literature published in the last
5 years (2014–2019) regarding ultrasound education in the specialty of urology. Recent …

Background Percutaneous access to the renal pelvis still remains the most difficult step
before nephrolitholapaxy (PCNL). New imaging techniques, such as 3D imaging and …
