Aims and objectives
Urologists interested in undertaking laparoscopy must be properly trained in order to minimise the risk of
potential complications and to ensure patient safety. Currently training in urological laparoscopy is limited
due to several factors:
• A shortage of designated training centres
• A shortage of recognised trainers
• Lack of either appropriate facilities, limitations of equipment, expertise or support
All of which restrict the trainee from access to high quality training. This course aims to provide the potential
trainee with the recognised core knowledge with regard to case selection, correct use of the equipment and
imaging systems, and the important protocols for accessing and exiting the abdomen, including how to
recognise and avoid potential complications prior to starting with the skills acquisition. The central highlight
of the course is the use of video clips to illustrate many of the essential points and to promote discussion
amongst the delegates.
