Abstract
Simulation-based training (SBT) has a significant role in training in complex procedure like laparoscopic pyeloplasty. We propose a new training model for laparoscopic pyeloplasty which has been compared to other models. Trainees (n=22) evaluated our balloon model (BM) and three other models -glove finger model (GFM), chicken thigh model (ChTM) and chicken crop model (ChCrM)- subjectively, based on a 5-point Likert scale. The face validity mean score of our BM model was 3.58±0.69. Our novel model can be a cost-effective, hygienic, and easy-access alternative to other laparoscopic pyeloplasty models.
