Webinar: Controversies in Surgical Stone Management: A Case-Based Instructional Course (2020)

July 7, 2020

Course Director: Stephen Y. Nakada, MD, FACS

This course tackles key controversies in surgical stone disease and elucidates the most current rationale to varying treatments using case-based scenarios. Two well-known senior experts give honest and clear assessments of the field in these controversial areas. Active discussion is encouraged, and the discussion favors more experienced endourologists. Controversies include: dusting vs basketing, mini PCNL vs. standard PCNL, supine vs prone PCNL, micro PCNL vs ureteroscopy, wireless vs safety wire ureteroscopy, stents vs no stents, SWL vs URS and retrograde vs. antegrade caliceal diverticular stone treatments.

Please note this course is FREE to all AUA Members and is an exclusive member benefit.  If you would like to become an AUA Member, we'd be happy to have you - think about all the great member benefits!
