Grateful for a full house at #AUA26 🙏
Thank you to everyone who joined Course 018IC: COMPLICATIONS of Robotic Urological Surgery at the American Urological Association Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.
Robotic surgery is not only about precision, but also preparation, judgment, and how we respond when the case becomes difficult.
Special thanks to our outstanding faculty for sharing their expertise through real-world cases, surgical video review, and practical intraoperative strategies.
