Abstract

Live surgery events are a popular educational tool, but concerns have been raised, especially regarding patient safety. The Italian Society of Urology has implemented a novel concept in which surgeons operate on their own patients at their own institutions, with the procedures broadcast live at the annual society meetings. This approach retains the live nature of the surgery but removes the risks associated with operating in a foreign environment with distractions.
