Description:

The First Annual Anatomic Enucleation Course 2026 is a focused, two-day educational program designed to advance surgical proficiency in contemporary anatomical enucleation techniques for benign prostatic obstruction. As Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) continues to evolve, a deep understanding of prostatic anatomy and emerging enucleation strategies remains essential for modern urologic surgeons.

This course will emphasize anatomy-driven decision making through expert lectures, case-based discussions, and step-by-step procedural analysis. Participants will explore refinements in surgical planes, landmark identification, and technical execution across enucleation approaches. Hands-on simulation and technical demonstration sessions will provide practical opportunities to refine operative skills and improve efficiency, safety, and reproducibility in enucleation surgery.

Sessions will be led by nationally recognized leaders in endourology, offering practical insights and technical pearls drawn from high-volume clinical experience.

Co–Course Directors:

Amy Krambeck, MD

Ahmed Ghazi, MD

Registration & Attendance: Additional details, including the scientific program, faculty announcements, accreditation information, and registration, will be released as they become available.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from leaders in the field, gain hands-on experience, and connect with a community dedicated to advancing robotic genitourinary reconstruction.
