Urology Days Held under the Sponsorship of the Endoskopi Medikal Grup

Within the framework of the “Urology Days” held by the Health Sciences University (Istanbul) and under the sponsorship of the Endoskopi Medikal Grup on 12-14 February and in the satellite symposium held on 12 February, the agenda was the recent developments in Endourology. While the participating urologists evaluated the sectoral technological advancements created by the brands with on air case operations, in particular, they assessed the efficiency of device brands of laser lithotripsy in lithotriptors and single-use ureterorenoscopies that reduce the infection risk among patients.

Prof. Mutlu Ates, Executive and Training Head of the Health Sciences University Antalya Training and Research Hospital shared his opinions with the participating urologists about the on-air lithotripsy operation and the devices he used. Underlining the lightness of the single-use flexible ureterorenoscope that he used on-air, Ates shared his views as follows: "The lightness of the ureterorenoscope that we used during the operation that lasted one and half hour, and its maneuverability provides the surgeon with comfort and you do not get tired because of the operation." Prof. Dr. Mutlu Ates stressed that the operation of the patient with ureterolithiasis lasted for one and half hours and all stones were removed using laser lithotripsy and single-use ureterorenoscope.

Dr. Mahmut Taha Olcucu stressed that in the future, they are expecting lighter, more cost-efficient, and smaller (depending on requirements), more durable ureterorenoscopes with better maneuverability, 3D monitoring feature, and equipped with the f-URS technology. Dr. Mahmut Taha Olcucu spoke as follows: "We are expecting that, in the future, there will be new ureterorenoscopes with increasing digital f-URS dominance that are equipped with broader working channels and capable of minimalizing the intrarenal pressure."  While Dr. Fatih Kursat Yilmazer, a faculty member at the Department of Urology of the Erzurum Training and Research of the Health, views on the energy sources that are utilized in lithotripsy during the session, Assoc.
