Microsurgical Education in Reproductive Urology: A Review of Current Techniques and Opportunities for Improved Access to Learning Experiences.
Infertility is a common problem. Despite this, a dearth of urologists are trained in infertility care. Improved training opportunities may improve proficiency and interest in subspecialized training. We present a narrative review of current and proposed techniques in microsurgical education, with noted methods from other specialties. Opportunities for quality improvement include technological advancements, dedicated training laboratories, and artificial and animal models. Ample opportunity exists for improvement and standardization of microsurgical skills training, institutionally and nationally. Adoption of training methods may bolster resident interest in andrology and male infertility as a career and improve outcomes for those who complete fellowship training.
