The Minimal Laser Approach To Kidney Stones: Where We Are

Kidney stones are a condition of growing epidemiological importance, with a steadily increasing incidence in Western populations. Technological advances in recent years have profoundly changed the therapeutic approach to urinary lithiasis, moving towards increasingly minimally invasive solutions that guarantee therapeutic efficacy while minimising surgical trauma for the patient.

This training event stems from the need to take stock of the state of the art in minimally invasive laser techniques for the treatment of kidney stones, with a particular focus on "minimal" approaches, which represent the most advanced frontier in modern endourological surgery.

The event aims to optimise the diagnostic-therapeutic pathway, explore the latest generation of laser technologies, explore minimally invasive surgical approaches, evaluate innovative suction devices, introduce Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality, and provide practical experience through live sessions.

The second day, entirely dedicated to live surgery using different techniques (mini ECIRS with augmented reality and RIRS with FANS), allows participants to observe the practical application of theoretical concepts, consolidating their learning through the discussion of real cases.

This training event represents a high-level professional development opportunity, combining theory, technology and surgical practice to provide participants with a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the therapeutic possibilities offered by the minimal laser approach to kidney stones. The integrated teaching formula, which combines theoretical sessions, practical workshops and live surgery, ensures effective learning that can be immediately applied in everyday clinical practice.
