Participation at the ESU-ESUT course on lasers for BPH in Barcelona


This time I went to Barcelona to participate in this course organized by the European School of Urology and the European School of Uro-Technology (ESUT).


My role was to participate in a round table discussing clinical cases and then I went to the operating room at Fundació Puigvert to perform a live surgical case that was broadcasted to the main auditorium of the course.


I performed an En-bloc enucleation with early apical liberation with the Holmium laser with MOSES technology. I was a bit uncomfortable during the operation as I do not usually use the Kuntz applicator for my operations, but the case went very well. I could demonstrate an excellent preservation of the external sphincter and later I was informed that the postoperative course of the patient was excellent. We published this technique recently and I think it is going to improve the results of HoLEP procedures. There are many urologists now in Europe adopting this approach.

As always, the organization at Hospital Sant Pau and Fundació Puigvert was impeccable.
