“…Nevertheless, no significant reduction of bleeding was noted, most probably due to an increased resection of tumor mass after training. VR-simulation training offers the opportunity to gain endourological skills and to practice repetitive special surgical steps under controlled conditions without patient discomfort or risk [4,6]. Prior work has documented that surgical simulators and pelvic training models are useful tools for residents and advanced physicians for the training of surgical skills [7].…”

“…Newer concepts such as AR models and patient-specific simulators have also been introduced [5]. Recently, the effectiveness of various types of simulations was indicated by many authors in the subdivisions of urological surgery training, including urolithiasis [6], and the stone treatment procedure [7], prostate surgery [8], transurethral surgery [9], ureteroscopy [10], percutaneous renal access (PCA) [11], and pediatric urological surgery [12]. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing (3DP), as it is commonly known, is a process used to create 3D objects from computer-aided designs (CAD).…”

Background/aim: It is necessary to incorporate novel training modalities in medical education, especially in surgical fields, because of the limitations of cadaveric training. Traditional medical education has many drawbacks, such as residency working hour restrictions, patient safety conflicts with the learning needs, and the lack of hands-on workshops. The MedTRain3DModsim Project aimed to produce 3-dimensional (3D) medical printed models, simulations, and innovative applications for every level of medical training using novel worldwide technologies. It was aimed herein to improve the interdisciplinary and transnational approaches, and accumulate existing experience for medical education, postgraduate studies, and specialty training. Materials and methods: This project focused on models of solid organs and the urinary system, including the kidney, prostate, ureter, and liver. With 3D medical printing, it is possible to produce a body part from inert materials in just a few hours with the standardization of medical 3D modeling. Results: The target groups of this project included medical students and residents, graduate students from engineering departments who needed medical education and surgical training, and medical researchers interested in health technology or clinical and surgical anatomy. Conclusion: It was also intended to develop a novel imaging platform for education and training by reevaluating the existing data using new software and 3D modalities. Therefore, it was believed that our methodology could be implemented in all related medical fields.

“…9 Enhanced detection of prostate cancer recurrence has also become possible through the identification of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed by almost all prostate cancers. 10 This antigen is hoped to allow replacement of the currently used 18 F-flurocholine positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) by 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, which is noted to be superior in identifying prostate cancer recurrence and extra prostatic disease. 11 Furthermore, recent studies suggest that due to its high sensitivity and specificity, there may be added benefit in the use of 68 Ga-PSMA-PET/CT in primary staging for metastatic spread.…”

Therapeutic Advances in Urology

Since prehistoric times, our understanding of urology has rapidly expanded. Whilst primitive urologists began by using urine as a therapeutic substance, modern urologists may find themselves removing a kidney remotely by driving a robotic arm, with seven degrees of movement, while using image overlay-augmented reality. This review provides an insight into the potential status of urological technology in 20 years' time, assessed through an analysis of developments in imaging, diagnostics, robotics and further technologies. A particular emphasis is given to the promising fields of minimally invasive techniques, nanotechnology and tissue engineering, which likely hold the key to a new era for urology.
