Percutaneous Access & Drainage Techniques for Urologists

Training Overview

Percutaneous Access & Drainage Techniques for Urologists Training is an intensive, simulation-based educational program designed for urologists, surgical residents, and operating room professionals aiming to enhance their proficiency in percutaneous interventions for urinary tract drainage and decompression. This two-day course combines theoretical instruction with high-fidelity, hands-on simulation to improve procedural accuracy, complication management, and clinical decision-making.

The program begins with comprehensive sessions on urinary tract anatomy, imaging-guided access principles, patient selection, and procedural planning. Participants review techniques for percutaneous nephrostomy, ureteral drainage, abscess drainage, and stone-related interventions, emphasizing safety, asepsis, and complication prevention.

Hands-on simulation modules immerse participants in realistic procedural scenarios using advanced simulators and ultrasound/fluoroscopy-guided models. Attendees perform step-by-step procedures including needle placement, tract dilation, catheter insertion, and drainage management. Faculty-led debriefings reinforce technical accuracy, complication recognition, and troubleshooting strategies.

Interactive workshops and case-based discussions allow participants to analyze challenging scenarios, evaluate intraoperative decision-making, and apply evidence-based management of potential complications such as bleeding, infection, or catheter misplacement.

By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped with the technical and cognitive skills necessary to perform percutaneous access and drainage procedures safely and effectively in a clinical setting.
