Abstrakt: Objective: To develop and validate a low-cost, portable, and reusable simulation model for optical internal urethrotomy (OIU) training.
Methods: A 3D-printed low-cost simulation model for OIU was designed locally and the final model was evaluated by trainees and trainers at the urology boot camps (UK, Belgium, Portugal, Poland). Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire, using a 6-item 5-point Likert Scale, to assess the model's anatomic realism.
Results: A total of 27 trainees and 9 trainers evaluated the model. The model's anatomy and color were rated as the most realistic features, with 88.9% and 11.1% of respondents rating them as good and excellent, respectively. There were no significant differences between consultants and trainees in their assessment of any of the simulation properties of the OIU model.
Conclusion: Our study introduces an innovative, lifelike, and cost-effective simulation model for OIU training. Our model provides a realistic simulation of OIU. We feel that our low-cost and reusable model fills the gap in simulation-based training for young trainees in urology.
