Assessing comfort with sexuality-related questions in medical students: "a little discomfort is better than a lifetime of suffering in silence".

Background: Sexual history-taking competence in medical students is an essential skill that they need to acquire. It requires them to learn to develop comfort in using sexuality-related language and raising the subject with patients. Sexual history exploration skills are inadequately taught in a significant number of medical schools.

The start of sexual health curriculum development and evaluation at Stellenbosch University.

Background: Stellenbosch University's (SU) Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS), developed a sexual health course to be integrated throughout the revised medical curriculum.

Aim: To use the Sexual Health Education for Professionals Scale (SHEPS) to gather baseline and future follow-up data to inform curriculum development and evaluation.

Setting: The first-year medical students (N = 289) of the FMHS SU.

Living with someone else's penis: The lived experiences of two South African penile allograft recipients: A descriptive phenomenological study.

Background: In South Africa, penile loss is a recognised complication of ritual circumcision which has a profoundly negative effect on these men's psyches and their everyday lives. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the experiences of the first two South African penile allograft transplantation recipients in order to assess the psychosocial impact of this surgery.

Materials And Methods: A qualitative descriptive phenomenology approach was used.

Intensive simulation training on urological mini-invasive procedures using Thiel-embalmed cadavers: The IAMSurgery experience.

Introduction: The objective of the study was to evaluate the benefits perceived by the use of cadaver models by IAMSurgery attendees and to define indications to standardize future similar training camps.

Materials And Methods: A 25-item survey was distributed via e-mail to all the participants of previous training courses named as "Urological Advanced Course on Laparoscopic Cadaver Lab" held at the anatomy department of the University of Malta, for anonymous reply. Participants were asked to rate the training course, the Thiel's cadaveric model, and make comparison with other previously experienced simulation tools.

The current use of human cadaveric models in urology: a systematic review.

Introduction: We aim to perform a systematic review of the current use of cadaveric models in urology and analyze their role within urological training and the experimentation of novel surgical techniques.

Evidence Acquisition: A systematic review of the current literature was conducted through the Medline and NCBI PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases in September 2019. All papers published after 2000, concerning studies conducted on human cadaveric models for training in urological surgical procedures, developing of new techniques and technologies were considered for the review.

Knowledge co-production and boundary work to promote implementation of conservation plans.

Knowledge co-production and boundary work offer planners a new frame for critically designing a social process that fosters collaborative implementation of resulting plans. Knowledge co-production involves stakeholders from diverse knowledge systems working iteratively toward common vision and action. Boundary work is a means of creating permeable knowledge boundaries that satisfy the needs of multiple social groups while guarding the functional integrity of contributing knowledge systems.
