Dear colleagues, dear friends,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the second Semi-Live Conference. Semi-Live 2015 was such a success, that Semi-Live has rapidly increased and we had to look for a venue with more space capacity. We are happy and thankful to meet you this year in the Neue Aula of the University of Heidelberg.
Surgery is the core of urology. For more than a century, urology has been – and still is – one of the most innovative surgical specialities in modern medicine. Indications in oncology, reconstruction, kidney stones, BPH, and andrology are managed using open, laparoscopic, robotic, endourological, shock wave or microscopic procedures. The variable combination of indications and procedures creates a multitude of treatment options.
The symposium Semi-Live focuses on contemporary, state-of-the-art urologic procedures for complex and standard indications. Additionally, the topics of intestinal anastomosis and intraabdominal vascular repair techniques are covered as important urological tools.
Semi-Live brings together some of the most eminent surgeons from around the world.
They will present anatomical landmarks, access strategies, important steps, elegant tricks, pitfalls and complication management in an intense live setting.
Each presentation will be followed by 15 minutes of discussion. This allows you plenty of time to get every last detail of any of the procedures presented which you are interested in.
Semi-Live is supplemented by half-day workshops in immuno-oncology and in laparscopic urology, MRI/TRUS-fusion biopsy and MRI-guided TULSA, where a limited number of participants can receive hands-on training.
Such a new concept of exchanging and relaying urological surgical knowledge could not have been made a reality without extensive support. We are more than grateful to all partners from industry who sponsor this event.
We are looking forward to a great conference!
Best regards on behalf of the organizing committee,
Markus Hohenfellner
Department of Urology, University Hospital Heidelberg
