Green Laser Dutch Users Meeting

This time I went to Holand to participate in the yearly meeting of laser users of the Netherlands.

My role was to give a talk on the evolution of the endoscopic prostatectomy techniques with the GreenLight laser. I spoke on the development of anatomic vaporization as well as GreenLEP (Greenlight enucleation of the prostate).

It was a short trip, I flew forth and back in the same day. It was good to see old friends.

Visitors to our operating room

Today we received visitors to our operating room again, to our monthly course on GreenLight laser. This time we received the visit of Dr. Felipe Cáceres and Dr. Pedro Cabrera from Hospital NISA in Madrid and Dr. Emilio Izquierdo from Hospital Morales Meseguer in Murcia, Spain.

They could learn about the anatomic vaporization technique as well as see some GreenLEP (GreenLight Enucleation of the Prostate) cases.

It is always a pleasure to share with urologists from other countries the techniques that we developed to optimize the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with laser.

Annual Congress of the Spanish Urological Association

This year the National Urology Congress took place in Gijón, Asturias. My role in the congress was to lecture the residents with a talk entitled "Endoscopic Enucleation of the Prostate, the new treatment of choice of BPH".

I also contributed with three posters, that were presented by my colleague and friend Dr. Enrique Rijo. 

But without doubt, the most beautiful moment in the congress was the award from the Spanish Urological Association of the Francisco Diaz Medal to Dr. Richard Gaston. This is the highest recognition the Spanish Urological Association gives to urologists that contribute significantly to spanish urology.

It was a true honor to accompany him in such an important moment. Dr. Gaston confessed that he was truly moved by this and that he had donated the economic prize to a humanitarian organization. He is a great man and an amazing surgeon. My master and friend, Richard. Congratulations!

And with the national congress the academic year comes to an end, although we still have to work the rest of june and july before the summer holiday comes.

Visitors from Germany

We were pleased to receive the visit of German urologists to our operating room. They were interested to see anatomic vaporization and endoscopic enucleation of the prostate with the GreenLight laser (GreenLEP).

We received the visit of Dr. Hannes Cash, from Hospital Charité de Berlín and Dr. Dr. Maurizio Aragona from Klinikum Lüneburg

As always it was a true pleasure to share with our colleagues what we do in our operating room on a daily basis.
