Endourology Training Simulation
Transforming Endourology Training, the URO Mentor™ revolutionizes hands-on training for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the field of endourology. This state-of-the-art simulator offers an unparalleled learning experience with a range of scopes, tools, and visual images that closely resemble real-life scenarios. Trainees are introduced to endourology scopes and tools by practicing coordination skills and essential tasks for reviewing anatomies. Subsequently, learners can practice actual procedures on a wide array of virtual patient cases, each featuring unique anatomies and pathologies. The URO Mentor’s true-to-life system makes it a game-changer in endourology training.
Our product boasts a range of advanced features to enhance the learning and development of endourology skills. Users can simulate the use of both rigid and flexible cystoscopes and ureteroscopes, as well as real-time fluoroscopy and C-arm control. With a comprehensive curriculum, our product covers essential skills as well as diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Users can also choose from a variety of realistic scopes and endourological devices, including guidewires, stents, balloons, forceps, laser, EHL, and more. Simulated real-time fluoroscopy and angiography further assist in navigation, making our product an ideal choice for endourology training and assessment.
Our product offers a range of benefits, including an ergonomic platform that provides a realistic experience with actual tool insertion into working channels. Users can train with diverse patient anatomies and pathologies in stepwise, realistic scenarios. Our product has been extensively validated with over 40 studies, demonstrating its significant training value. Users can practice essential skills such as stone extraction, stone lithotripsy, cutting strictures, or taking biopsies, making our product an essential tool for endourology training and assessment.

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

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.

I want to emphatically state that simulated laparoscopic training with LapSim should be a cornerstone of surgeon training and absolutely contributes to patient safety.
Clinical simulation training allows students in the medical field to practice their skills in an authentic, safe, simulation environment. Simulation-based training provides a great opportunity for students to increase their knowledge in both technical and non-technical procedures, with built-in software providing feedback and guidance along the way. Students can practice, learn, and increase their surgical skills with peace of mind knowing they’re safely practicing without risking the life of a live patient.
Absolutely. Simulation training allows medical professionals to practice their skills via virtual reality without risking the safety of a live patient. They also have the benefit of reducing the demand on supervision time which leads to more skilled and confident medical professionals. Whilst using the simulator, real time guidance and feedback is provided with the software so any mistakes made are recognised instantly.
Universities throughout Australia and New Zealand would greatly benefit from investing in a surgical simulator for their students studying in the medical industry. This advanced tool allows students to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to move into their preferred field with both confidence and competence.
A human patient simulator typically ranges in price from $10,000 to $100,000 depending on the type, brand, features, and included support services.
