Modern surgical practice is stimulated on a daily basis by the development of new devices and instrumentation. Nowadays, urologic surgeons, especially those working in tertiary care centres, are witnessing a major technological renovation which is driving the evolution of minimally invasive surgery.

Conventional laparoscopy has represented a paradigm shift in urologic surgery over the last two decades. With the introduction of robotics and the development of other novel technologies, it can be hypothesized that another revolution is already happening, and we are moving into the next level of evolution of minimally invasive surgery: that of "technological surgery”.

 

To show the most recent technological innovations introduced in the daily armoury of urologic surgeons, and to determine if they might replace our current approaches in the treatment of urologic diseases.

 

The comprehensive scientific program will include a stimulating combination of live surgery sessions, lectures and thought-provoking debates featuring the world’s experts in the field.

Key topics will be covered during this 2-day event, such as Laparo-Endoscopic Single-Site Surgery (LESS), robot assisted LESS, Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES), Mini-laparoscopy, 3D Laparoscopy and Image-Guided Surgery.

We are confident this meeting will give the attendees the unique opportunity of understanding and analyzing these novel techniques and technologies. Ultimately, we will have the chance to take a closer look at the near future of our surgical specialty.

 

We look forward to see you in Torino.

Kindest regards.
