This two-day course provides comprehensive training on using the holmium laser for prostate, kidney stone, and bladder tumor procedures. The course will cover techniques such as Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) through lectures and live surgery demonstrations. Topics will include the HoLEP learning curve, setting up a HoLEP service, instrumentation, and the Holmium Academy training program. Attendees will include surgeons of all experience levels as well as their whole medical teams. Individual simulation training is also available. The goal is to help surgeons and hospitals reduce costs by performing these procedures as day surgeries using holmium laser technology.
