Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> Current primary outcome measure as of 18/10/2019:<br> Number of uretero(reno)scopy procedures required to achieve proficiency is measured using the generic Objective structured assessment of technical skill (OSATS) by their clinical supervisors for a total of 25 procedures, to assess and compare the learning curves of both arms.<br><br> Previous primary outcome measure:<br> Number of uretero(reno)scopy procedures required to achieve proficiency is measured using the generic Objective structured assessment of technical skill (OSATS) and the procedure-specific Uretero(reno)scopy assessment score (URSAS) tools at every procedure. Participants will be assessed on their uretero(reno)scopy performances using these assessment scales by their clinical supervisors for a total of 25 procedures, to assess and compare the learning curves of both arms.<br>
