Cook Medical Dinner at EAU 2026: The New Kid is En Bloc

March 13, 2026 · London · EAU 2026 · Stratford Hotel, Olympic Park

Last night I had the privilege of presenting "The New Kid is En Bloc: Translating Holmium Laser Physics into Surgical Mastery" at the Cook Medical dinner during EAU 2026 in London.


I shared the podium with Dr. Leye Ajayi, Consultant Urological Surgeon at St John & St Elizabeth Hospital, who delivered an insightful talk on pulse modulation and the Magneto holmium laser technology.



Key Topics Discussed

  • En bloc HoLEP technique: Tips, tricks, and how understanding holmium laser physics translates directly into surgical outcomes
  • Magneto technology: Advantages in hemostasis and tissue management during enucleation
  • The future of holmium laser enucleation: Where the technique and technology are heading

The evening brought together a fantastic group of urologists for lively discussions over dinner. We even raffled copies of the En Bloc HoLEP manual among the participants — always a pleasure to share knowledge beyond the operating room.


Thank you to Cook Medical and Quanta System for organising this memorable event, and to Alan Loughnane and the entire MedSurg Division team for their support.

As Dr. Leye Ajayi wrote on LinkedIn: "Honoured to share the podium with Dr. Fernando Gómez Sancha who gave us an incredible insight, together with tips & tricks on performing en bloc technique for HoLEP."

Looking forward to today's live surgery demonstration at the Royal Free Hospital!
