About this event

  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Urology

Join us at the RSM for our renowned annual event where participants will provide state-of-the-art knowledge on endourology and technology, whilst enabling them to implement the best and up-to-date practice for their patients.

Endourology continues to develop new technologies for both treatment of kidney stones and benign prostatic enlargement with newer minimally invasive surgical treatments. Experts in endourology will give insightful lectures on the evaluation of technology in both stone disease and bladder outlet obstruction.

There will also be a unique technology exhibition from the industry.

Participants will learn about: 

  • The current technology used in endourology in the management of stone disease and their respective evaluation with evidence for patient care
  • How to provide best practice to stone patients
  • New technologies to treat symptomatic patients with an enlarged prostate
