Perceptions of Posthysterectomy Cystoscopy Training in Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Programs

Abstract

Residents in OG programs are receiving cystoscopy training, most commonly in the operating room, less often with simulation. Nineteen percent reported receiving no training. Graduating residents exposed to FPMRS fellowships more frequently reported planning to always perform cystoscopy after hysterectomy than did those without fellowship exposure.

Development of a photographic handbook to improve cystoscopy findings during resident’s training: A randomised prospective study

“…It is interesting to note that although cystoscopy is mainly a urological diagnostic procedure, in the literature most of the simulation and teaching models proposed come from gynaecology, which may be due to a lack of confidence in execution, as a result of reduced exposure compared to that of urologists [19][20][21][22][23].…”
