V01-10 NON-BIOLOGICAL 3D PRINTED SIMULATOR FOR PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTRIPSY

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES:The aim of this study was to develop a non-biological 3D printed simulator for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) training and preoperative planning, which would allow doctors to master new skills and perform all stages of the procedure under ultrasound and fluoroscopy guidance.METHODS:A 3D model was constructed based on data of multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) of patients with kidney stones. The simulator consists of two parts: a non-biological 3D printed soft model of the kidney with reproduced intrarenal vascular and collecting systems and a printed 3D model of a human body. With the use of fluoroscopy and ultrasound, PCNL was performed in the interventional radiology operating room.To determine the utility of this model, five residents of the 3D Model group (group A) passed a questionnaire (psychometric Likert scale) in which it was proposed to evaluate their skills in understanding of collecting system's anatomy, definition of stone localization, shape and positio...
