This full immersion masterclass is intended for senior trainees (ST6>) focusing on a BPH interest and for urology Consultants wishing to improve their HOLEP skills. Our expert faculty panel are from across the UK, and the techniques taught are internationally recognized and affiliated.

The masterclass has been structured to provide didactic lectures, semi-live operative demonstrations, surgical video demonstrations and intense simulator sessions on Day 1. Day 2 will focus on hands-on practice on anatomical specimens and Thiel embalmed cadavers to simulate the complete HOLEP procedure. We are fortunate to be fully supported by Karl Storz and Boston Scientific.

There will be a course dinner for all delegates and faculty.
