About WCET 2024
The World Congress of Endourology and Uro-technology annual meeting is a forum for the worldwide advancement and dissemination of minimally- and non-invasive urologic surgical techniques including endoscopic surgery, percutaneous surgery, laparoscopy, robotic surgery, pediatric urology, reconstructive urology, focal therapy, active surveillance, and medical management to name a few. All of these treatment strategies have a salient role in the management of both benign and malignant urologic conditions. A conference of this magnitude serves as a venue for providing attendees with an extensive amount of information on new, improved and emerging minimally invasive treatments for a wide range of urologic diseases and conditions, with the purpose of increasing knowledge and competence throughout the globe. It is the goal of the Endourological Society members to seek to improve patient care by new innovations and discoveries to optimize treatment outcomes, while minimizing patient morbidity. The Endourological Society Executive Board, as well as the Education Committee, Research Committee and subspecialty Societies (SURS and Focal Therapy Society) meet regularly to assess the ongoing needs of urologists and other practitioners so as to structure this conference, by way of format and venue, to accomplish the goals of disseminating information about minimally invasive techniques, technologies and approaches. Responses from the members of the Endourological Society, meeting faculty, and attendees serve to influence the selection of specific topics and the structure of future meetings. Taken together, the over-riding goal of the 41st World Congress of Endourology and Uro-Technology meeting is to provide evidence-based pathways for the management of a wide range of urologic diseases with the focus on minimally invasive treatments.
