ForwardThe Surgical Management of BPH and Updates from the AUA Clinical Guidelines (2024)
As a direct result of the evolving technologies and procedures related to the surgical management of BPH, urologists must continue increasing their knowledge and skills of the various treatment options available.
Designed for urologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of BPH, this 2-hour, interactive discussion- based course, will provide a practical application on how the newly updated 2023 Management of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Attributed to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Clinical Guideline applies in day-to day practice with a patient centered focus. Led by renowned experts in the field, the course will also discuss the evidence base for several surgical techniques including temporary implantable nitinol devices, prostatic artery embolization, high-pressure saline hydro dissection and laser enucleation techniques.
Presented in English, the activity is of value to the global urologic community.
