“…In a previous study by Ballaro et al [14], a computer-based virtual reality 3D prostatic lumen was developed that could be altered to simulate TURP. They added elastic, viscous and plastic properties to each mesh point on the surface of the lumen.…”

“…The anatomy and tissue properties of the prostate are simple compared to those of other organs in the abdomen. This makes the construction of a simulator for training TURP [14,15] much easier than the construction of a simulator for training for example laparoscopic cholecystectomy.…”

“…Since 1999, a few virtual reality models were elaborated [24,25]. Earlier models had some drawbacks such as lack of bleeding and limited interactivity due to time delay between the movement of the loop and graphic visualization on the screen.…”

The current system of surgical education is facing many challenges in terms of time efficiency, costs, and patient safety. Training using simulation is an emerging area, mostly based on the experience of other high-risk professions like aviation. The goal of simulation-based training in surgery is to develop not only technical but team skills. This learning environment is stress-free and safe, allows standardization and tailoring of training, and also objectively evaluate performances. The development of simulation training is straightforward in endourology, since these procedures are video-assisted and the low degree of freedom of the instruments is easily replicated. On the other hand, these interventions necessitate a long learning curve, training in the operative room is especially costly and risky. Many models are already in use or under development in all fields of video-assisted urologic surgery: ureteroscopy, percutaneous surgery, transurethral resection of the prostate, and laparoscopy. Although bench models are essential, simulation increasingly benefits from the achievements and development of computer technology. Still in its infancy, virtual reality simulation will certainly belong to tomorrow's teaching tools.

“…[13][14][15] While these reports represent a spectrum of approaches to the development of a teaching tool, only one of these prototypes incorporates a haptic sensation component. 15 Selection of lower urinary tract endoscopy for our simulation was based on the frequency of the procedure performed, the relatively more accessible anatomic data for the lower urinary tract, and the ability for objective assessment of performance.…”
