En Bloc HoLEPs at CEMTRO with Brazilian Colleagues

I spent two days at Clínica CEMTRO and ICUA performing En bloc HoLEPs. I was joined by new friends from Brazil who are interested in laser prostate surgery. We focused on the technique using the Quanta System laser. The cases included standard and complex anatomical enucleations.

We worked together during the sessions to refine the approach for larger prostates. The team at the clinic supported the procedures throughout the two days. This visit allowed for a shared experience in laser enucleation techniques. We discussed specific steps regarding apical dissection and mucosal preservation. The collaboration continued through the live surgical cases, a definitely interesting session!

Surgical session at Hill Clinic

This time, I performed a surgical session at Hill Clinic. I met new colleagues from Belgium and Brazil. We focused on the HoLEP procedure using the en bloc technique. The results show the method is getting faster and more efficient for large prostates. Several cases were completed during the visit. The laser settings were optimized for each patient. I will post the surgical videos on my YouTube channel soon. It was a valuable exchange of experience with international colleagues. The team collaborated well, as always. I observed significant improvements in operative time. Operating on many cases in a short time makes you a faster surgeon!
