ABSTRACT
At the time of this writing, interest in laparoscopic urology continues to rise at an unprecedented rate. This interest is currently evident in both urologic practice and training. The wide range and availability of information has led the patient population to demand laparoscopic knowledge and skills from the urologic community. Thus, residency programs are increasingly emphasizing laparoscopic training, and graduates should have enhanced familiarity with laparoscopic technique once delegated to specialty training. Laparoscopic fellowship programs continue to thrive, producing tomorrow’s academic leaders. Courses in advanced laparoscopic urology are available both nationally and internationally for established urologists.
