“…To our knowledge, this is the first retrospective analysis to use 3D reconstructive techniques for preoperative communication and thereby to observe postoperative follow-up, although 3D reconstructive techniques are now widely used in medical education, surgical planning, and clinical communication in urology. 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 …”

“…Therein lies a space for innovations in training paradigms to address these exposure gaps in case-specific volume and difficulty through cadaveric models, 3-D printing, virtual reality robotic simulations, or animal models. [17][18][19] Simulations and training programs investigating urologic procedures have proven beneficial for training, including pyeloplasty, prostatectomy, and partial nephrectomy. [20][21][22] Implementation of similar curricula may improve the competence and confidence of graduating residents.…”

Introduction: Our goal was to compare the perceived readiness of graduating urologic residents and fellows to program directors (PDs) in U.S.-based postgraduate training programs. Additionally, we set out to assess the impact of COVID-19 on postgraduation plans to pursue fellowship training. Methods: Graduating residents, fellows, and PDs of accredited residency/fellowship programs in the U.S. were surveyed. The ranked preparedness of trainees to perform common urologic procedures was measured using a Likert scale from 1 (not comfortable) to 5 (fully proficient). The impact of COVID-19 was measured using a three-point Likert scale. Chi-squared and Kruskal-Wallis analyses were used to compare the groups. Results: From 93 responders, 21 were residents, 19 were fellows, 24 were residency PDs, and 29 were fellowship PDs. The median levels of comfort for transurethral resection of the prostate, hydrocelectomy, vasectomy, and urethral sling were at or above (≥3) moderate for both PDs and trainees. PDs were more likely to report underperformance for hypospadias repair (60% vs. 39%), penile prosthesis implantation (39% vs. 26%), and orthotopic neobladder formation (57% vs. 18%) than the trainees. Fifty-three (57.0%) of the surveyors felt that COVID-19 did not impact the trainees’ comfort in performing general urologic procedures. COVID-19 influenced trainees' decision to pursue a fellowship or opt to practice as general urologists (p=0.002). Conclusions: Our study suggests there may be a self-reported discrepancy between graduating trainees and their PDs regarding trainees’ comfort levels performing general urologic procedures.

“…3D printing technology can effectively visualize the patient's vascular condition before the operation, offering significant practical benefits. 77 Denizet et al 78 conducted a study involving 4 patients who had varying degrees of atherosclerosis. They utilized 3D printing technology to create models of abdominal aorta and iliac vessels prior to kidney transplantation.…”

Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is a rapidly advancing technology with the capability to create intricate and precise structures. This technology has garnered significant attention in the medical field due to its ability to provide personalized diagnosis and treatment services. It finds applications in various areas, such as model printing, customized implants, and even organ printing. This review delves into the current uses of 3D printing in urology, including preoperative planning for surgeries, medical education, doctor− patient communication, and implant development. It also showcases examples of its utilization in both research and clinical settings. Moreover, the exploration of 3D printing for urethral repair and urinary organ reconstruction offers tailored solutions and the potential to replace conventional tissue engineering methods. The article provides an overview of the current applications of 3D printing technology in urology and discusses future prospects.
