- Robotic surgery with EndoWrist instruments provides enhanced movement for prostate cancer treatment, but trainees often struggle with suturing techniques.
- A study with 42 medical students compared the surgical proficiency using thumb-index vs. thumb-middle finger placements during simulation, measuring various performance metrics.
- Results indicated that the thumb-middle finger (1&3) placement resulted in fewer collisions and complications during surgery, suggesting it might be a more effective grip for training despite the initial belief that thumb-index (1&2) offers better range of motion.
Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) causes pain and discomfort after surgery. The primary causes of immediate postoperative pain after PCNL are visceral pain from the ureters and kidneys, and body surface discomfort from incisions. Acute, untreated pain has the potential to develop into chronic pain, which remains a considerable burden for the rehabilitation of patients.

November 2022
Objective: To understand the residents' perceptions of the, COVID-19 driven, newly implemented online learning systems adopted among accredited urology residency programs nationwide, and their sustainability following the pandemic era.
Materials And Methods: A survey was designed and dispersed to urology program coordinators and directors to distribute to their residents. In the survey, Online education models was the all-encompassing term to describe any form of resident education that occurred online.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess urology residents’ views on the effectiveness and sustainability of online learning systems implemented during COVID-19.
- - A survey revealed that over 70% of residents felt online education was comparable to in-person learning, with only 13% opposing its continuation post-pandemic.
- - Key findings indicated that while residents appreciate online learning, it lacks in areas like stress management and interpersonal communication, though connectivity issues are a noted concern.
