Modular Training in EERP<br />

no actual umbilicus in the pig. The arrow marks the penis. Two<br />

The bladder should be emptied through a percutaneous<br />

puncture or by direct incision of the bladder wall. Urethral<br />

catheterisation is almost impossible. b The first exercise is the<br />

niques in pulsating tissue. A dry lab could never offer<br />

training in conditions so close to reality [10, 13–19].<br />

Figures 12.1–12.4 show the structured wet lab programme<br />

that we follow in our institution during our<br />

training courses at the International Training Center<br />

of Urologic Laparoscopy in Leipzig.<br />

An alternative to the animal model is the pulsatile<br />

fixation of the bladder to the abdominal wall to train suturing<br />

under live conditions. In this figure fixation has already been<br />

performed. This allows easy access to the pelvic lymph nodes<br />

and seminal vesicles<br />

simulating in vivo conditions. POP trainers are<br />

equipped with porcine organ systems and perfused<br />

with a red fluid to enhance the realism of organ preparation,<br />

dissection and suturing techniques.<br />

Animal models are useful in training novice or intermediate-level<br />

laparoscopic trainees. However, the<br />

trainers should always consider the risk of trainees<br />

forming a false impression of their skills when work-
