Watching Dr. Georgi Georgiev Perform En Bloc HoLEP

I am watching my padawan, Dr. Georgi Georgiev, perform En bloc HoLEP at the Hill Clinic. He is performing at a top, international expert level, and it is moving to see how far he has come. I am very fulfilled by his progress and performance.

En-bloc HoLEP Course at Hill Clinic

I taught an En-bloc HoLEP course at Hill Clinic. The technique involved specific steps for en-bloc resection using the Holmium laser.

Attendees came from Chile, Mexico, and Brazil. We discussed the indications for this approach and the practical execution of the procedure. We focused on the anatomical landmarks required for safe dissection.

The group included new colleagues from these Latin American countries. We covered technical details regarding laser settings and tissue removal.

The session covered the En-bloc method for the participants. We reviewed patient selection criteria and postoperative considerations.

I traveled to Thessaloniki to visit Dr. Andreou. We spent time in the operating theatre together. We performed En Bloc HoLEP procedures during this visit. The procedure involves the use of the Holmium laser for prostatic enucleation. We focused on the specific steps of the En Bloc removal technique in the operating room. This was a collaborative surgical session in Greece. The case demonstrated the practical application of the method. I discussed the technical aspects with Dr. Andreou. We completed the surgeries successfully. This visit allowed us to exchange surgical techniques.
