“…Azer et al identified frequent urological diseases in the general clinical practice in which Australian residents were not able to deal with, like prostatitis, epididymitis and scrotal pain. 8 These results are concordant to our results, in which most of the residents did not feel comfortable dealing with these pathologies.…”

“…Other techniques such as the use of introducers can be dangerous in untrained hands and together with flexible cystoscopy are reserved for urologists. Although suprapubic catheter insertion is relatively simple, many NUT doctors are unfamiliar with this technique and they will not be adequate in patients with clot retention.…”

Multi‐centre, prospective evaluation of the Seldinger technique for difficult male urethral catheter insertions by non‐urology trained doctors

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Seldinger technique by non-urology trained (NUT) doctors for difficult male indwelling urinary catheter (IDC) insertions. Patients and MethodsIn all, 115 patients and 57 participating NUT doctors were recruited by the urologist or urology registrar, when contacted in regards to failed IDC insertion. The successful passage of an IDC by the NUT doctors using the Seldinger technique with a straight, hydrophilic guidewire was assessed in our prospective, multicentre evaluation. Instruction of this technique was via bedside teaching by the urology registrar or via video media. ResultsThe 115 patients, involving 57 NUT doctors, were prospectively evaluated across four sites; 93% (107/115) of cases had successful placement of an IDC with the Seldinger technique by a NUT doctor. No complications with the Seldinger technique were recorded. In 80 patients (69.6%), the technique was successfully performed by a NUT doctor without attendance by a urologist or urology registrar, with instruction provided from video media or prior bedside teaching by the urology registrar. ConclusionsOur study is the first to validate the safety and effectiveness of the Seldinger technique for difficult male IDC insertion performed by NUT doctors. This technique can be taught via video education and thus has important implications for health services where urological support is not readily available.

“…We suspect the same has also occurred in Australia and New Zealand and this problem is not likely to be isolated to urology and may span the majority of other surgical sub‐specialties. The article by Azer et al . is the first from Australia to define the perceptions of pre‐interns, to their exposure to urology training within the state of Victoria …”

“…Urology education is not yet ‘as good as it gets’ but assessing the level of knowledge and perceptions, as described by Azer et al , is an important step in addressing the shortfalls in medical student teaching. Developing a sub‐specialty core curriculum based on feedback from key stakeholders and provision of online learning materials could lead to a substantial correction of the problem.…”
