Abstract

Purpose of Review

Teaching of surgery has long relied on live practice. The advent of endo-urology and laparoscopy have favored the development of simulation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of simulation in the development of a center of excellence center in Senegal.

Recent Findings

Simulation has become the standard for surgical training students in Europe and the USA, allowing for a better and faster learning. The routine practice of minimally invasive surgery in urology along with a high number of residents should favor the use of simulation in this setting.

Summary

The experts achieved a higher percentage of prostate tissue resection within the allotted time for this procedure. The quality of the control of hemostasis evaluated on a basic procedure and during a resection is significantly better in the expert group. The satisfaction survey was conducted at the end of the seminar.
