Urotrainer Academy is a 10-week intensive, hands-on program for urology residents and fellows focused on laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and radical prostatectomy. The curriculum includes 12 partial nephrectomies on a high-fidelity kidney model, progressing from low- to high-complexity tumors, and two complete laparoscopic radical prostatectomies on an anatomically accurate prostate model. 

Trainees practice all key surgical steps in a structured, step-by-step approach. All sessions are delivered live via Zoom, with real-time guidance from expert faculty.

Training method:

  • Individualized feedback from experienced proctors
  • Solid theoretical knowledge acquired through online lessons
  • Progressive and continuous hands-on simulation using cadaver-free, realistic models
  • Evaluation of training performance with quantitative metrics
