Galil Medical: Europe's First Symposium in Minimally Invasive Techniques in Urology Featuring Cryotherapy and Laser Innovations



    This September, prior to the prestigious Societe Internationale
    d'Urologie (SIU) Congress taking place from 2nd to 6th September,
    Galil Medical is sponsoring Europe's first 'Advances in Minimally
    Invasive Techniques in Urology' symposium.

    Minimally invasive techniques are gaining momentum for the
    management of both benign and malignant conditions and so this
    exciting and interactive symposium is timely. The symposium is
    dedicated to the latest advancements in cryoablation for treating
    prostate and renal cancer and laser technologies for BPH, and will
    feature live surgeries.

    Dr Herve Baumert, part of the symposium's faculty and head of the
    department of Urology at the Paris Saint Joseph Hospital Trust said:
    "The goal of this symposium is to promote minimally invasive
    cryotherapy and laser procedures for treating urological conditions by
    bringing the newest technologic advancements to physicians."

    The symposium is taking place on Saturday 1st September 2007 from
    9.00am - 5pm at the Paris Saint Joseph Hospital Trust in Paris.
    Physicians interested in learning about cutting edge therapeutic
    medical devices for the treatment of prostate and renal cancer and BPH
    are encouraged to attend. The symposium is sponsored by an educational
