Preliminary Scientific Program

Our ground breaking program will draw together experts from around the world and will encompass innovations in Robotic, Laparoscopic, Endoscopic, Percutaneous and Transcutaneous therapy as well as cutting edge research in biomedical engineering, imaging and simulation. This year we will highlight critical assessment of novel approaches to management of urinary malignancies, urinary stone disease, benign prostate hypertrophy as well as sustainable, green economics of health care in the age of advanced biotechnology.  Society meetings, Hands on Labs, subspecialty courses and personal interaction with experts will be offered.
