Residential Operative Course

The Endourology Section organises an annual Residential Operative Course. This is aimed at trainees in their final year, post FRCS Urol, who wish to be appointed to a Consultant post in endourology and laparoscopy.

The course is limited to four delegates and will involve each delegate being the primary surgeon, with one-on-one expert Consultant assistance / coaching, to perform a variety of endourological procedures e.g. fURS (using TFL and Moses P120) and BPH - including ThuFLEP/HoLEP, GLL, and all MISTS.

BAUS will be running the 17th Residential Operative Endourology Course at Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline - NHS Fife from Monday 27 - Tuesday 28 October 2025. The closing date for applications is midday, Monday 16 June 2025 - places are limited, so please book your place early.
