Female, Functional, & Neuro Urology
With training, the goal is to produce a surgeon who is highly competent and confident in performing functional and uro-gynaecology procedures; and thereby mitigate the risks of complications. Assessment of competences in functional urology has not been established yet, but is in progress.
The EAU Working Group on Female, Functional, & Neuro Urology is currently focusing on developing a standardised curriculum in 4 diagnostic and routine surgical procedures including:
- Invasive urodynamic studies
- Standard retropubic synthetic sling (TVT)
- Standard transobturator synthetic sling (TOT)
- Sacral neuromodulation
Comprehensive cognitive task analyses were created for all 4 procedures. These are now being validated through Delphi consensus with a group of experts. The tasks and trainings will be tested and validated with simulators during upcoming meetings.
