Visitor from Iran

The 19th I met for the first time Dr. Dariush Marzbani, a prestigious urologist from Teheran, Iran. He came to madrid to visit us for some days decided to know the truth about the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with the Greenlight HPS.

We shared two surgical sessions, the 20th I operated three patients, and the 21st, I also did three cases. The 21st we also received Dr. Gelabert, from Mallorca, to see the operations. Dr. Marzbani left very happy and convinced, because we saw very interesting a varied cases. Small prostates, big ones, and even a patient who already had had a TURP and an open prostatectomy...

The major problem for the introduction of this technique in Irán seems to be the blockade the USA maintains on Iran. Apparently american companies cannot sell in Iran, specially when high technology is involved.
