For his part, Dr Ahmed Abu Talib, Professor of Urology, Andrology and Medical Director of EUROPRO Center, stated that the conference aims to develop methods of treatment and surgery for urology and andrology diseases, by opening educational communication channels with the largest surgeons and professors working in this field around the world, in addition to developing skills of junior urologists, familiarizing them with the latest treatment techniques used abroad, the center said in a statement.
“It is the first time in Egypt and the Middle East region that an international medical conference is organized in co-operation with a raft of European most skilled doctors to perform a range of delicate and complex surgeries, using a surgical robot in a live broadcast via video conference technology from France, England and Italy,” Abu Talib said.
He added that the live broadcast of these surgeries included a complete prostatectomy, a kidney resection, and installment of hydraulic stent for the penis, in addition to a flexible laparoscopic procedure to extract and break up a kidney stone using a laser, and a prostate biopsy with an MRI device.
The EUROPRO will continue to hold such major scientific conferences; hence its social responsibility and pioneering role it plays in this field, Abu Talib concluded.
