Webinar for Peruvian urologists on BPH

This time I participated in a webinar where I discussed the integral management of BPH of big size. This was addressed to Peruvian urologists and also from other latinamerican countries. The session was sponsored by Jam Pharma, who is launching a collection of new drugs and combinations for the treatment of BPH.


I had to wake up early as it took place in Perú at 8 pm, that corresponded to 4 am in Sofia, Bulgaria, where I was at that moment.

The organisers thrower a good show, that made me remember the sponsored dinners in urological congresses, when we could go to congresses in presence. Truly it was quite emotive.

The presentation, the discussion and the clinical case presented by Dr. Rocio Zavala were very interesting and it was really an emotive and interesting webinar.

HoLEP mentorship at the University Hospital in Getafe, Madrid

During the month of May I have visited in three occasions the University Hospital in Getafe, Madrid, to help them initiate their HoLEP program. It is a surgical technique that might seem somewhat difficult at the beginning, and then becomes much easier and it is possible to learn to perform it safely. I hope the department of Urology if the Hospital keeps innovating and growing and it is a pleasure for me to help achieve that objective.
