Forward38th World Congress of Endourology and Uro-Technology (WCET 2021)
Minimally invasive urology encompasses highly technologic and rapidly evolving minimally invasive treatment options. As such, practitioners are in need of a forum that introduces state-of-the-art techniques, technologies and medical management strategies from both an evidence-based and technical skills standpoint.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the 2021 Annual Meeting, participants will be able to:
- Describe recent developments in the medical management, non-invasive and minimally invasive surgical management of urologic diseases.
- Integrate the latest guidelines on the management of urologic conditions into clinical practice.
- Identify new technologies for the management of benign and malignant urologic conditions.
- Incorporate new techniques into surgical practice for a variety of urologic problems.
- Analyze outcome data and critically appraise medical and surgical options for the treatment of urologic conditions using evidence-based medicine.
