UroS

Endourology Training Simulation

UroS

A comprehensive VR simulator for endourology education and assessment

UroS™ is a high-fidelity urological endoscopy training simulator designed to support structured, competency-based education in diagnostic and interventional urology. Developed to closely replicate the look, feel, and workflow of real clinical procedures, UroS enables trainees to safely develop essential endoscopic skills in a controlled, repeatable environment.

The simulator combines anatomically accurate virtual patient models with realistic instrument behaviour and advanced haptic feedback. Trainees can practice cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, and related urological procedures while receiving objective, metrics-based performance feedback to guide targeted skill improvement.

With a growing library of tasks and clinical scenarios, UroS supports urology training programs in standardising education, objectively assessing performance, and accelerating the transition from simulation to clinical practice.

Features

UroS is a high-fidelity virtual reality simulator designed to support structured training and objective assessment across a wide range of endourological procedures. The platform enables trainees to practise both diagnostic and therapeutic techniques using realistic anatomy, authentic endoscopic visuals, and true-to-life instrument behaviour.

UroS supports the use of rigid and flexible cystoscopes and ureteroscopes, along with simulated fluoroscopy and C-arm guidance. Trainees can work with a broad selection of endourological instruments, including guidewires, baskets, balloons, stents, forceps, lasers, and EHL, allowing comprehensive skills development in a safe, repeatable training environment.

Diagnostic & Therapeutic Endourology

Training in cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, and transurethral procedures
Practice of scope navigation, visual orientation, and instrument handling
Progressive task difficulty supporting trainees from novice to advanced levels

Realistic Instruments & Imaging

Support for rigid and flexible endoscopes with realistic handling
Simulated fluoroscopy and angiography for navigation and positioning
Wide range of endourological tools including stents, baskets, lasers, and EHL

Objective Performance Feedback

Automated metrics for efficiency, accuracy, and safety
Detailed performance reports supporting competency-based assessment
Enables standardised training and benchmarking across institutions

Benefits

UroS enables structured, proficiency-based endourology training in a safe and reproducible virtual environment. By combining realistic anatomy, authentic endoscopic visuals, and objective performance feedback, the platform supports efficient skills acquisition while reducing reliance on patient-based training.

Supports competency-based training across diagnostic and therapeutic endourological procedures
Allows repeated practice without patient risk or consumable costs
Accommodates trainees at different experience levels through progressive task difficulty
Reduces dependency on faculty supervision through guided self-learning

Improves procedural confidence before transition to the operating theatre
Enables objective assessment with standardised performance metrics
Supports training across diverse anatomies and pathological scenarios
Facilitates consistent training outcomes across institutions and cohorts

UroS provides a validated training solution with an ergonomic platform that realistically simulates endoscopic procedures and instrument interaction within the urinary tract. Trainees can practise across a wide range of anatomical variations and pathological conditions in stepwise, clinically relevant scenarios. The simulator has been extensively validated in the literature, demonstrating significant training transfer and educational value. UroS supports the development of essential endourological skills, including stone extraction, lithotripsy, stricture management, stent placement, and biopsy techniques, making it a powerful tool for both training and assessment.

A Virtual Demo

Experience the full capability of your simulation unit with a virtual demo. The unit manufacturers, Surgical Science, will host your virtual demo whilst our team organise everything for you including scheduling, reminders, and follow-up aftercare.

Modules Library

The UroS simulator offers a comprehensive and continuously expanding library of training modules developed in collaboration with international endourology experts. The module library includes a wide range of virtual patient cases based on real clinical data, featuring diverse anatomies, pathologies, and procedural challenges.

Each module provides full clinical context, including patient histories, imaging, and diagnostic information, enabling trainees to practise realistic diagnostic and therapeutic workflows. The modular structure allows learners to access both common and complex endourological scenarios, supporting repeated practice, skills refinement, and progressive competency development in a safe, simulation-based environment.

Comprehensive Endourology Training Platform

UroS provides a comprehensive simulation solution for endourology training, combining anatomically accurate virtual patient models, realistic endoscopic image rendering, and true-to-life instrument behaviour. The platform supports a wide range of clinical scenarios, from routine diagnostic examinations to advanced therapeutic interventions.

With progressive task difficulty, validated metrics, and detailed performance analytics, UroS allows training programs to standardise skill acquisition, objectively assess competence, and accelerate the transition from simulation to clinical practice.

We have been very interested in improving patient care through learning and essentially rehearsing the procedures before we treat the patients.

Using advanced simulation techniques similar to what pilots use, we are able to take patient specific information and rehearse the procedure before we actually perform the real procedure.

Simulators will have a place in the future to plan a procedure.

They are not only for training. They allow us to look at the anatomy and try devices before we actually start the procedure.

I remember my days as a new intern….the first cases I performed were very difficult and it was a scary experience, since it takes between 10-20 procedures until you really feel that you are proficient.

With today’s technological advances we have the ability to train doctors on full procedures using medical simulators as advanced as the Simbionix ANGIO Mentor, prior to having them perform on live patients. By providing this opportunity, the learning curve is significantly shortened and trainees gain confidence before they approach their first cases.

I want to emphatically state that simulated laparoscopic training with LapSim should be a cornerstone of surgeon training and absolutely contributes to patient safety.

In the last 25 years, I have organized about 50 courses in practical surgery for residents and specialists in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In the courses involving laparoscopy, LapSim has been used to a significant extent for training and evaluation. With the extensive scientific documentation available, and based on my many years of experience with LapSim, I want to emphatically state that simulated laparoscopic training with LapSim should be a cornerstone of surgeon training and absolutely contributes to patient safety.
