Meeting ID: 859 2128 3787
Passcode: 8wDhnz

All urologists, who are members of the SAUA, and have an interest in laser prostatectomy are invited to attend. The aim of the meeting is to formally establish a small committee, under the auspices of the SAUA, to manage and promote the interests of surgeons who perform laser enucleation of the prostate. We envisage a small working group with regional representatives, consisting of 4-8 members.

The aims of such an interest group would include, but are not limited to:

  • To promote the procedure and provide education to urologists
  • To provide information to the public
  • To negotiate appropriate reimbursement with funders and educate urologist regarding appropriate billing practices
  • To discuss and advise on industry involvement in training
  • To develop a consensus opinion on appropriate training
  • To lead and co-ordinate audit and possibly research projects in the field

We look forward to your involvement.

Kind regards

Dr Karlheinz Jehle (SAUA Treasurer)
