The Aim of the Masterclass will focus on Urolithiasis over 1.5 days designed to demonstrate advanced techniques in flexible ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy as well as introduce the delegates to the integrated concept of sepsis, intrarenal pressure and temperature

Professor Bhaskar Somani asks that all attendees bring a case study (patient history, radiological imaging, intraoperative imaging) to share with the group to stimulate discussions on the management of patients with complex upper tract urological disease, whether stone or tumour.

Semi live surgeries, videos and discussions will revolve around ECIRS, PCNL, FURS , ESWL and how to select the appropriate energy source in Endourology, mood lighting and music in SWL and Ureteroscopy and TCC ablation.
