Complications and Crisis Management in Minimally Invasive Urology

Training Overview

Complications and Crisis Management in Minimally Invasive Urology Training is an intensive, simulation-based educational program designed for urologists, surgical residents, and operating room professionals aiming to enhance their proficiency in managing intraoperative complications and emergencies during minimally invasive procedures. This two-day course combines theoretical instruction with realistic, hands-on crisis simulations to build surgical confidence, decision-making, and teamwork under pressure.

The program begins with comprehensive sessions on the principles of laparoscopic and robotic urologic surgery, emphasizing risk identification, procedural safety, and complication prevention. Participants review the most frequent intraoperative and postoperative complications across endourology, laparoscopy, and robotic surgery—such as bleeding, injury to adjacent structures, urinary leaks, and equipment failures.

Hands-on simulation modules immerse participants in realistic surgical crisis scenarios using high-fidelity simulators and wet-lab models. Attendees perform step-by-step management of complications including vascular control, repair techniques, conversion strategies, and patient resuscitation protocols. Faculty-led debriefings reinforce evidence-based responses, communication techniques, and system-based approaches to crisis management.

Interactive workshops and case-based discussions challenge participants to analyze real surgical videos and anonymized patient cases, fostering critical thinking and multidisciplinary decision-making. Participants learn to use checklists, cognitive aids, and structured communication tools such as TeamSTEPPS to optimize intraoperative coordination and patient outcomes.

By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped with the technical and cognitive skills necessary to identify, mitigate, and manage surgical complications with precision and confidence in a real-world clinical environment.
