Ureteral Stent Placement

Training Overview

Ureteral Stent Placement Training is a focused, simulation-based educational program designed for urologists, surgical residents, and operating room professionals aiming to enhance their technical proficiency and clinical decision-making in stent insertion, troubleshooting, and postoperative management. This two-day course integrates theoretical learning with high-fidelity, hands-on simulation to develop both procedural accuracy and complication management skills.

The program begins with comprehensive sessions covering ureteral anatomy, stent design, indications, and selection criteria. Participants learn the fundamental and advanced techniques of stent insertion using cystoscopy and fluoroscopic guidance, emphasizing sterile technique, patient positioning, and equipment handling.

Hands-on simulation modules provide step-by-step practice in stent placement using realistic endoscopic models and virtual simulation systems. Participants perform complete procedural workflows, including guidewire navigation, stent advancement, and verification of correct positioning under imaging simulation. Scenarios also include troubleshooting common complications such as stent migration, kinking, and malposition.

Interactive workshops and faculty-led video sessions expose attendees to various clinical contexts—ranging from obstructive uropathy to post-surgical drainage management. Discussions include stent-related symptoms, encrustation prevention, and evidence-based removal protocols.

By the end of the course, attendees will have achieved hands-on competence in performing safe, effective, and complication-free ureteral stent placements suitable for clinical application in daily urologic practice.
