Course Description
New technologies have emerged for surgical treatment of BPH aiming for more safety and fewer complications compared to TURP. HOLEP allows enucleation of the prostate while avoiding significant morbidity associated with the traditional open approach. The workshop provides interactive hands-on training of different steps and techniques of HOLEP, with experienced urologists and local tutors guiding trainees through the training process.
