URS & RIRS Advanced Course: Flexible Ureteroscopy & Laser Lithotripsy

Training Overview

Interventional URS & RIRS Advanced Course: Flexible Ureteroscopy & Laser Lithotripsy Training is an intensive, simulation-based educational program designed for urologists, surgical residents, and operating room professionals aiming to enhance their proficiency in flexible ureteroscopy (URS) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) with laser lithotripsy. This two-day course combines theoretical instruction with hands-on simulation to develop technical skills, decision-making, and procedural confidence in complex endourologic procedures.

The program begins with comprehensive sessions on the principles of flexible URS, laser lithotripsy techniques, stone management strategies, and perioperative safety. Participants review indications, contraindications, and potential complications associated with URS and RIRS procedures.

Hands-on simulation modules immerse participants in realistic procedural scenarios using high-fidelity simulators and bench models. Attendees practice scope handling, laser fiber selection, stone fragmentation, retrieval techniques, and complication management under expert supervision. Faculty-led debriefings reinforce evidence-based procedural strategies, imaging interpretation, and patient safety protocols.

Interactive workshops and case-based discussions challenge participants to analyze anonymized patient cases, optimize surgical planning, and improve intraoperative decision-making. Participants also learn structured checklists, cognitive aids, and team communication techniques to enhance procedural safety and efficiency.

By the end of the course, attendees will have acquired the technical and cognitive skills necessary to perform flexible URS and RIRS with laser lithotripsy safely and effectively, integrating simulation experience into real-world endourologic practice.
