New training session in Sofia with visitor from Belgium!

Dr. Fernando Gómez Sancha and Dr. Hannes Van Den Bossche at Hill Clinic, Sofia

Another productive training session at Hill Clinic in Sofia, Bulgaria. This time, I had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Hannes Van Den Bossche, a urologist from AZ West Hospital in Veurne, Belgium, who traveled to Bulgaria to learn about the en bloc HoLEP technique.

Over the course of the weekend, I performed 30 procedures. the kind of dedication that makes these training programs worthwhile.

Unfortunately, a group of urologists from Iraq who had registered for the program were unable to attend due to transportation difficulties caused by the ongoing conflict in their region. It's a sobering reminder that while surgical technique continues to evolve, not everyone has equal access to education and training opportunities.

Hill Clinic remains one of the most active international centers for HoLEP training. Over the past 16 years, urologists from more than 30 countries have come here to lears. Each visit reinforces why training matters.
