Development and face validity testing of pyeloplasty surgical training models
A surgeon-assessed realistic and useful pyeloplasty surgical training model was developed here which enables surgical practice on challenging small anatomical features. The comparatively low cost and accessibility of the silicone model can enable trainees to practice the procedure depicting the realistic pathological features in environments with limited resources.
