We aim to enhance the reporting of complications in surgical operations by establishing a classification for patient complexity. Current comorbidity assessment tools are insufficient due to their reliance on physiological parameters. The proposed patient surgical class category (PSCC) aims to address these limitations and enhance results by incorporating relevant aspects of a patient's surgical history.

- Over the past 20 years, the European School of Urology (ESU) has implemented various educational programs, including e-learning, courses, webinars, and the European Urology Resident Education Program (EUREP), to standardize training in urology.
- From 2004 to 2022, participation in ESU courses grew significantly, with 4,750 attendees and EUREP attracting 5,958 trainees, showing a notable increase in female participation from 10.7% to 37.1%.
- The average age of participants has decreased over time, indicating a growing influx of younger urologists, which reflects the ESU's commitment to modernizing urological education and improving patient care.
Article Synopsis
- Urologic emergencies are frequent and often complicated to manage, highlighting the need for effective training methods like simulation-based education (SBE).
- A study in Ethiopia surveyed surgical consultants and residents about their training needs, collecting responses primarily through online platforms, and found strong support for SBE in managing urological emergencies.
- The results indicated a high interest among trainees for a dedicated SBE course, with many participants emphasizing specific topics like acute urinary retention and urologic trauma as critical areas for training.
Objective: To perform endoscopy in patients with urinary diversions requires specific endoscopic skills, which can currently only be gained in clinical practice. We created a 3D-printed ex vivo ileal conduit model (stoma and conduit with ureters and 2 kidneys) to simulate "conduitoscopy" and evaluated the realism and limitations of the model.
Methods: Accurate anatomical features were represented using an appropriate reusable design, realistic mechanical qualities with several material types, and 3D-printed components.
Objectives: To assess the feasibility of performance enhancement coaching (PEC) for newly appointed Urology registrars (ST3s), specifically: whether the concept appealed, and which areas beyond technical skills acquisition were felt to be most relevant or useful.
Subjects And Methods: All delegates on the Urology Bootcamp 2023 were invited to take part in an online survey before and after a 2-hour PEC workshop, collecting: basic demographic data, performance challenges, and the important aspects to include in, and consider with, a coaching programme. The workshop was delivered by a surgeon with a professional coaching qualification, to groups of four delegates at a time over 4 days.
