Abstract

Laparoscopy is a surgical technique that requires special knowledge, training, and skills. With the introduction of more complex cases (both extirpative and reconstructive), training is essential to enable the surgeon to do these procedures efficiently. Worldwide spread of laparoscopic urologic surgery has occurred over the years with different efforts by surgeons and their institutions.
