It is important to train gynecologists and urologists on the principles of urogynecological surgery.
To report our recent experience in developing a curriculum, application, and the learning outcome of a urogynecology workshop using cadaver training.
A full day structured urogynecology cadaver-based educational hands-on course was developed. The theoretical component consisted of lectures on female urinary incontinence and genital prolapse. Hands-on training was on three cadaver stations: First to instruct and guide through the surgical steps of transobturator vaginal tape; second to perform sacrospinous fixation; and third to insert of vaginal mesh. Knowledge gained was evaluated using multiple choice questions. The course was evaluated using a structured seven-point Likert type questionnaire.
There was an a statistically significant improvement in the post-test MCQ marks compared with the pre-test marks (P <0.01) and in the pass percentage (7% compared with 100%, P< 0.001). The overall rating of the workshop was 6.7 out of 7.
Our course was highly valued by the participants who came from all over the Middle East. The course was enjoyable and achieved its objectives while the participants gained new knowledge and surgical skills.
对妇科医生和泌尿科医生进行尿失禁和妇科泌尿学手术原则的培训非常重要。
报告我们使用尸体培训开发妇科泌尿学研讨会课程、应用和学习成果的最新经验。
开发了为期一天的结构化妇科泌尿学基于尸体的教育实践课程。理论部分包括女性尿失禁和生殖器脱垂的讲座。实践培训在三个尸体站进行：第一站指导经闭孔阴道吊带手术的步骤；第二站进行骶棘韧带固定术；第三站放置阴道网片。使用多项选择题评估获得的知识。使用结构化七点李克特量表问卷调查评估课程。
与术前分数相比，术后 MCQ 分数有统计学意义的提高（P<0.01），及格率也有提高（7% 提高到 100%，P<0.001）。该研讨会的总体评价为 7 分中的 6.7 分。
我们的课程受到来自中东各地的参与者的高度评价。课程既有趣又达到了目标，同时参与者获得了新知识和手术技能。
