European Association of Urology Congress

Yesterday was the kick-off day for the Annual Congress of the European Association of Urology, with more than 9000 delegates from all over the world. I think it is the second most important congress in urology, after the American congress. In the afternoon, we celebrated a simposium on the new Greenlight HPS laser for the treatment of BPH. The symposium has coincided with the publication of our European Urology Supplement where we present the technical recommendations and the first wolrdwide results published on the treatment of BPH with this laser.


The symposium was moderated by Dr. Jean de la Rossette (right) and Dr. Alex Bachmann (left), Dr. Oliver Reich and myself did the presentations. The conference room was packed, with more than 400 attendees from all over the world.


First I spoke on recommendations on training and surgical technique, then Alex presented the results of the multicentric prospective study we are carrying out and finally Oliver spole on the use of this laser for the treatment of patients with big prostates, high risk patients and those under anticoagulation.


It was a very interesting symposim, we had many questions from the floor... a real success. Tomorrow I am presenting the video with technical recommendations that I will try to post here...
