Abstract There is little published literature on urologic diseases before 1947 from areas now constituting Pakistan. From 1947 to 1970s, urology was part of surgery practiced by general surgeons except for two urology units in 1960s. The real take off of urology began with introduction of transurethral resection of prostate in 1980s, ushering the era of endourology; the second era of which began with ureteroscopy along with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in 1987-1989, percutaneous nephrolithotomy in 1992 and introduction of percutaneous nephrostomy in 1997. Renal transplantation was started in 1979 and currently, there are 19 renal transplant centres. At present, there are 11 specialized kidney centers in the country. Urology has undergone marked metamorphosis during the new millennium with many sub-specialities. Over past few decades, the classical surgical training has shifted toward adaptation of surgical simulation labs. Continuous...

Introduction: The focus of this research is to qualitatively analyse the literature and address the knowledge gap between robotic surgery simulation (RoSS) and core surgical training curriculum. It will compare the effectiveness and the benefits of using robotic simulators in training as compared to the current standard training methods.Materials and Methods: A qualitative research of literature was carried out with the use of critical analysis formatting to expand the search. The inclusion criteria entailed selecting academic resources that focused on Robotic Surgery Simulation (RoSS) and core surgical curriculum. The Online databases used in the search took into account information retrieval from stakeholders.Evidence Synthesis: In this article, we compiled and scrutinized the available relevant literature comparing performance assessments, surgical skills transfer and assessment tools between robotic surgery simulation (RoSS) and current training platforms in open and minimal access surgery. Data that has been published underpins the authenticity of robotic Surgery Simulation (RoSS), based on a combination of observational evaluation and simulation scores.Conclusion: The introduction of robotic surgery simulation (RoSS) has the potential to bring major improvements in the surgical training curriculum. RoSS platforms are more robust in terms of ensuring rapid surgical skills transfer/ acquisition, assessment is standardized, unbiased and the training covers non-technical skills aspects.

Working Time Directive

Miss Veldkamp has the advantage of having trained in both British and Dutch hospitals. Entry into Dutch surgical training is as hard as the Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) hurdles: in the former case it is gained by research degree and publication or as a 'noticeable' SHO. Overall, the level of competence achieved by the Dutch scheme would appear to be a little behind that of our own training, although that may well change following MMC. On completion of training a number of Dutch trainees take up a fellowship post before assuming independent practice…shades of the future in the UK? In such a sophisticated country as the Netherlands it is an anomaly for general surgeons to continue to manage orthopaedic trauma. Yet again, another EU country appears to have cocked a snook at European Working Time Directive.
