March 14, 2026 · London, United Kingdom
41st Annual Congress of the European Association of Urology (EAU26) · ExCeL London
One of the most rewarding moments of EAU 2026 in London was the official presentation and signing of The En Bloc HoLEP Manual — and every single copy sold out.
This manual has been years in the making. It distills more than a decade of experience with en bloc holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, covering everything from surgical anatomy and technique to tips for managing complex cases, large glands, and patients on anticoagulants.
The goal was always to create a practical resource — not just theory, but a step-by-step guide that a urologist could take into the operating room. The kind of book I wished I'd had when I was learning the technique myself.
Why now?
The interest in anatomical enucleation has never been higher. At this year's EAU alone, 35 abstracts were presented on prostatic enucleation techniques. Major centres worldwide are transitioning from TURP to laser enucleation, and the demand for structured training resources continues to grow.
Seeing colleagues from so many countries come to the signing — from Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East — was a powerful reminder that this technique is truly global. And that sharing knowledge is just as important as developing it.
What's inside
- Surgical anatomy of the prostate relevant to en bloc enucleation
- Step-by-step technique with annotated images and diagrams
- Tips and tricks from over 10,000 enucleation procedures
- Managing difficult cases: large glands (>200g), previous BPH surgery, anticoagulated patients
- Learning curve guidance for urologists starting their enucleation journey
Thank you to the EAU for hosting the event, to the publisher for making it happen, and most of all to every colleague who took the time to come by. Your interest and enthusiasm are what make this work worthwhile.
The manual is available for those who couldn't attend — you can find it in amazon and it will be ready to ship in a matter of days!
