Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,

The Urological department of the Central Military Hospital Prague is proud to welcome the 5th European Robotic Urology Symposium. The previous four editions have been the ideal meeting platform for urologists interested in robotic surgery. We hope that this year’s edition not only continues to build this platform, but that it will also build a bridge between West and East in order to further expand robotic technologies.
The congress venue and hotel is the brand-new Clarion Congress Hotel in Prague, only 10 minutes from Prague’s historical centre. It will be in direct connection with the Central Military Hospital Prague via live transmission of the surgeries.
Our social programme will match Prague’s mesmerizing status. The Mayor of Prague will host the Welcome Dinner in his Mayor’s Residence on Wednesday 10 September whereas the exclusive Rothmayer Hall of the Prague Castle will be the setting of the Gala Dinner on Thursday evening.
As one of the most stunning cities in Europe, Prague is a UNESCO World Heritage listed gem. Accompanying persons can sign up for explorative tours and stroll around the impressively well-preserved historic core.

Join us in Prague for this top-notch event!

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,

As chairman of the scientific committee, I’m proud to invite you to the 5th edition of the European Robotic Urology Symposium, taking place in the beautiful city of Prague, Czech Republic, and organized by our colleagues Dr. Oto Kőhler and Dr. Jiri Koćárek.
We are committed to present you an outstanding symposium with top experts from all over the world. This year’s symposium is crafted to provide the ultimate educational experience for both basic and advanced surgeons. The focus will lie on the technical aspects of robotic surgery as well as on its theoretical issues and outcomes.
In order to achieve these goals, up to 11 live surgeries will be transmitted in High Definition. A wide variety of already established procedures will be shown, as well as new indications for robotics in urology. Round-table discussions, lectures, poster and video presentations will complete the scientific session.
Building on the success of last year’s edition, the congress will start with three outstanding courses on robotic surgery in urology. There will be two advanced courses, one on the upper, another on the lower urinary tract and one basic course on the principles of robotic surgery. World-renown urologists will outline a selection of latest hands-on techniques. Different procedures are outlined step-by-step, allowing you to take home practical tips and tricks.

Hoping to welcome you all at this high-standard meeting,

The Scientific Committee,

Alex Mottrie, MD
