Organised by the EAU Section of Uro-Technology (ESUT), in cooperation with the EAU Robotic Urology Section (ERUS) and the EAU Section of Urolithiasis (EULIS), Session Chair Prof. Jens Rassweiler (DE) said the extensive and varied session consisted of a wide range of percutaneous, endo-urological, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted procedures which all featured the latest technologies.
