“…On the analysis of the six articles found, it was verified that three of them are related to the insertion of suprapubic catheters models [9][10][11] , one article described the use of a computer software associated to sensors in the mannequin to evaluate precisely the quality of the procedure 12 ; other article proposed a model with cadavers and the last one a porcine model 13 (Table 1). Regarding the publication dates of the papers, the oldest one was published in the year 2000 and the most recent in 2015.…”

“…It is important to point out that the three models were published at the same journal (Urology), however in different years: the Singal et al 9 model is the most recent one and was published in January 2015; the Hossack et al 10 model was published in October 2013 and the oldest model, from Shergill et al 11 was published in July 2008.…”

“…The three models are easy to reproduce and have low cost, which bring them closer of the ideal training model. Out of the three articles found, only Singal et al 9 model was evaluated to be used as a teaching tool. The Hossack et al 10 model and Shergill et al 11 model were used and evaluated only by surgery residents and newly graduated physicians, respectively.…”

“…Construct validity was not assessed. A similar but arguably more complicated model was developed by Singal et al [ 10 ] from moulded urethrane and resin foam and a silicone moulded bladder. The model was assessed by 6 experienced urologists, who gave the model high scores for its visual and sensory representation of skills such as trocar insertion.…”

Introduction Simulation models have been found to be effective and valid for training in Urology. Due to increasing costs of surgical training, there is a need for low-cost simulation models to enable Urology trainees to improve their skills Material and methods A literature review was performed using the PubMed and Embase databases until March 2020. A total of 157 abstracts were identified using the search criteria, of which 20 articles were identified describing simulation models for Urology training. Articles reviewed described simulation models created from materials costing less than $150. Data was extracted from the relevant articles in order to critically assess each paper for validity, ease of construct and educational impact. Results Models were found pertaining to suprapubic catheterization (6), cystoscopy (3), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (5), scrotal examination (1), circumcision (1), ureteroscopy (1), transurethral resection of the prostate and bladder (2), and open prostatectomy (1). 18/20 (90%) assessed for either face, content, or construct validity. None of the papers evaluated assessed for transferability of skills to performance in real patients. Conclusions A plethora of low-cost simulation models for urological procedures are described in the literature, many of which can be easily constructed from cheap and accessible materials. However there is a need for further efforts to validate or assess for transferability of skills to clinical practice.

“…In comparison to these traditional methods, our model again eliminated the step of catheter placement after removing the puncture needle core, by placing the catheter along the puncture needle in advance. Both experienced practitioners and trainees expressed satisfaction with using an anatomically correct model developed by Singal et al 11. The main features of that model were its low cost and easy reproducibility, with only bladder, skin, and fat layers needing periodic replacement.…”

OBJECTIVES: Minimally invasive paracentetic suprapubic cystostomy is a technique that should be learned by all surgical trainees and residents. This study aimed to develop a self-made training model for paracentetic suprapubic cystostomy and placement of the suprapubic catheter and then to evaluate its effectiveness in training fourth-year medical students. METHODS: Medical students were divided into an experimental group receiving comprehensive training involving literature, video, and model use and a control group receiving all the same training protocols as the experimental group except without hands-on practice using the model. Each student's performance was video-recorded, followed by subjective and objective evaluations by urology experts and statistical analysis. RESULTS: All students completed the surgical procedures successfully. The experimental group's performance scores were significantly higher than those of the control group (median final performance scores of 91.0 vs . 86.8, respectively). Excellent scores were achieved by more students in the experimental group than in the control group (55% vs . 20%), and fewer poor scores were observed in the experimental group than in the control group (5% vs . 30%). CONCLUSIONS: Based on its cost-effectiveness, reusability, and training effectiveness, this paracentetic suprapubic cystostomy training model is able to achieve goals in teaching practice quickly and easily. Use of the model should be encouraged for training senior medical students and resident physicians who may be expected to perform emergent suprapubic catheter insertion at some time.
