Laparoscopic surgery was initially used as an ablative
tool, especially in the treatment of benign diseases.
Technical advances and improved surgical skills now
allow it to be applied to malignant diseases and cases
that require complex reconstruction. Improvements in
urologists’ laparoscopic skills have paved the way for the
establishment of laparoscopic reconstructive urology in
everyday practice.
The technique of nerve-sparing endoscopic extraperitoneal
radical prostatectomy (nsEERPE) has become a standard
procedure at high-volume centres such as the University
of Leipzig, where more than 3,500 EERPEs have been
performed to date. Based on a modular surgical training
system, this procedure has been divided into various levels
of complexity. Based on a highly standardised technique,
this concept offers a short learning curve and makes it
possible to start with this complex procedure as a beginner
in laparoscopy and/or without experience in open pelvic
surgery.
International training centre for urologic laparoscopy
In order to ensure optimal quality of surgical practice in
Germany, the rest of Europe and worldwide, it was essential
to create a training centre for beginners as well as for
experienced surgeons. The necessity for the creation of
laparoscopic courses is obvious, resulting in a variety of
models developed to train urologists in basic and advanced
laparoscopic skills within a structured curriculum, in a
controlled environment and free of the emotional stress of
operating on real patients. This course provides training
models that are highly applicable to real life.
This model in particular provides a wide range of training
applications. The anatomy of THE model is comparable to
that of a human being and thus constitutes a very useful ‘living
model’ for improving laparoscopic skills. The trainees can
practise a wide range of procedures and deal with the resulting
complications in vivo. This enables the mastering of dissection
and haemostatic techniques in pulsating tissue. A dry lab could
never offer training in conditions so close to reality.
Basic techniques focused on laparoscopic
prostatectomy (basic and intermediate level)
· Dissection techniques
· Lymphadenectomy
· Nephrectomy
· Suturing techniques
· And others
All training courses focus on practical learning under the
supervision of experts. No more than nine participants will
take part in each course. This allows for intensive training
at the wet lab over two days. The tasks within the training
model vary in difficulty so as to cater for the differing levels of
experience among the surgeons.
Advanced techniques focused on laparoscopic
prostatectomy (advanced level)
· Suturing techniques
· Lymphadenectomy and prostatectomy
· Cystectomy
· Nephrectomy
· Pyeloplasty
· And others
The course deals with laparoscopic techniques applied to
the complexities of radical prostatectomy and cystectomy. It
includes practical instruction, operations on live pigs under the
direction of the course faculty and live interactive sessions.
This intensive course is designed for urologists who already
have experience in laparoscopy.
