Inaugural cadaveric HOLEP Masterclass

Thiel embalmed Cadaveric Holmium enucleation of the prostate Masterclass

The British Association of Urological Surgeons have awarded this course with 12 CPD credits.

Join our course dedicated to Holmium enucleation of the prostate. This full immersion masterclass is intended for senior trainees (ST6>) focusing on a BPH interest and urology consultants to improve their HOLEP skills. The faculty is 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 hand-on practice on anatomical specimens and Thiel 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 to attend.
