Article Synopsis
- Developed a nonbiohazardous simulator for ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy using expert feedback and modern education theory.
- A prototype was created with realistic anatomical features through 3D printing and hydrogel molding, and validated by expert surgeons and participants in multicenter trials.
- The simulator showed high satisfaction ratings and significant skill improvements for residents, making it an effective training tool for urologic education.
Purpose: This study reports on a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, clinical trial utilizing the SonoMotion (San Mateo, California) Break Wave lithotripsy (BWL) device to fragment urinary stones.
Materials And Methods: Patients with a urinary stone underwent a single treatment of 30 minutes and peak negative pressure of 4.5 to 8 MPa.
