A Contemporary Review of Barriers and Methods to Fostering Academic Urologists.

Urology has shown a gradual decrease in the number of graduating residents who plan to pursue a career in academic medicine. Our objective was to identify barriers to academic urology, present options to mitigate those barriers, and explore strategic ways to encourage trainees to seek careers in academic urology. The authors performed a contemporary review of relevant articles through PubMed assessing prior survey studies, editorials, and expert opinion articles that evaluated academic urology, perceptions of academic medicine, physician burnout, and barriers that have been identified to pursuing careers in academic medicine.

Video Playback as an Educational Tool for Improving Resident Laparoscopic Performance: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Study Objective: In this single-masked randomized controlled study, we evaluate whether watching video recordings of oneself performing Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Skills (FLS) exercises results in an improvement on the 30-point Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills (GOALS) assessment among Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn) residents.

Design: Twenty-three Ob/Gyn residents in the 2020-2021 academic year completed the FLS exercises while being timed, video recorded, and receiving real-time feedback from an Ob/Gyn faculty member. Baseline GOALS assessment was completed by participants and faculty.

Robotic sacrohysteropexy: an instructional video for uterovaginal prolapse repair in patients with desired uterine preservation.

Introduction: Minimally invasive sacrohysteropexy is a feasible and safe option for the treatment of uterovaginal prolapse in patients with prior sacrorectopexy. This video demonstrates an approach to robotic sacrohysteropexy while also adapting for a patient's prior sacrorectopexy. Sacrohysteropexy has been shown to be a viable option in women undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery for the repair of uterovaginal prolapse.

When prolapse cannot be reduced: incarcerated procidentia due to pelvic mass.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Our objective is to demonstrate a surgical approach to the treatment of incarcerated procidentia with obstructed ureters due to a pelvic mass.

Methods: A 61-year-old woman presented with constipation, vaginal swelling, and difficulty voiding. On examination she had complete procidentia, which could not be reduced with gentle pressure.

Proper assembly of a self-retaining, vaginal Magrina-Bookwalter retractor and demonstration of its use during a vaginal hysterectomy.

Introduction/aim Of The Video: Vaginal surgery often presents challenges of access. To gain adequate visualization of relevant structures, surgical assistants often assume awkward positioning with inadequate stability of handheld retractors. Additionally, the lead surgeon is typically the only member of the surgical team who can adequately visualize the procedure being performed.
