Surgeries and Training in Poland

I travelled to Poland in the beginning of August, to help Dr. Marek Zawadzki and his team with their training in Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate at the Hospital in Piaseczno, near Warsaw.

It was a very interesting experience as I could see how much easier is to learn the En Bloc HoLEP technique in comparison to the classic three piece technique. After a two-day session with surgeries my very talented polish colleagues could perform the technique independently.


Dr. Zawadzki proposed the idea of collaborating in the future and for some time I will go to operate patients with them in Poland on a regular basis.

They are very experienced in endoscopic treatment of stone disease and I can tell they are a great team, ambitious, very scientific and with a great future in Poland. The hospital had impressive surgical facilities as well.


My visit had some impact in the local press!
