Kidney transplantation (KT) is the optimal form of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal diseases. However, this health service is not available to all patients, especially in developing countries. The deceased donor KT programs are mostly absent, and the living donor KT centers are scarce. Single-center studies presenting experiences from developing countries usually report a variety of challenges. This review addresses these challenges and the opposing strategies by reviewing the single-center experiences of developing countries. The financial challenges hamper the infrastructural and material availability, coverage of transplant costs, and qualification of medical personnel. The sociocultural challenges influence organ donation, equity of beneficence, and regular follow-up work. Low interests and motives for transplantation may result from high medicolegal responsibilities in KT practice, intense potential psychosocial burdens, complex qualification protocols, and low productivity or compensation for KT practice. Low medical literacy about KT advantages is prevalent among clinicians, patients, and the public. The inefficient organizational and regulatory oversight is translated into inefficient healthcare systems, absent national KT programs and registries, uncoordinated job descriptions and qualification protocols, uncoordinated on-site investigations with regulatory constraints, and the prevalence of commercial KT practices. These challenges resulted in noticeable differences between KT services in developed and developing countries. The coping strategies can be summarized in two main mechanisms: The first mechanism is maximizing the available resources by increasing the rates of living kidney donation, promoting the expertise of medical personnel, reducing material consumption, and supporting the establishment and maintenance of KT programs. The latter warrants the expansion of the public sector and the elimination of non-ethical KT practices. The second mechanism is recruiting external resources, including financial, experience, and training agreements.

The landscape of general surgery education has undergone a significant transformation over the past few years, driven in large part by the advent of surgical simulation and training technologies. These innovative tools have revolutionized the way surgeons are trained, allowing for a more immersive, interactive, and effective learning experience. In this review, we will explore the impact of surgical simulation and training technologies on general surgery education, highlighting their benefits, challenges, and future directions. Enhancing the technical proficiency of surgical residents is one of the main benefits of surgical simulation and training technologies. By providing a realistic and controlled environment, With the use of simulations, residents may hone their surgical skills without compromising patient safety. Research has consistently demonstrated that training with simulations enhances surgical skills., reduces errors, and enhances overall performance. Furthermore, simulators can be programmed to mimic a wide range of surgical scenarios, enabling residents to cultivate the essential critical thinking and decision-making abilities required to manage intricate surgical cases. Another area of development is incorporating simulation-based training into the wider surgical curriculum. As simulation technologies become more widespread, they will need to be incorporated into the fabric of surgical education, rather than simply serving as an adjunct to traditional training methods. This will require a fundamental shift in the way surgical education is delivered, with a greater emphasis on simulation-based training and assessment.
