Implication

Low volumes and conversions post-training support cautious adoption; leaves open broader practice integration.

Population

163 urologists who participated in a 2-day, university sponsored, laparoscopic surgery training seminar

Intervention

2-day laparoscopic surgery training seminar consisting of 8 hours of didactic lectures, 4.5 hours of simulation, and 4.5 hours in a live animal laboratory

Outcome

Interval laparoscopic surgery experience (including practice demographics, additional training, equipment availability, number of candidates identified, percentage of overall surgical case load, patient inquiries, cases performed, and complications)

Following a formal training course, laparoscopic techniques are being safely adopted by urologists, though the overall impact on global practice patterns remains small.
