With reconstructive urology being the main theme of SGH Urology Week 2025, I am proud to present a series of workshops and events over a course of 3 days which will showcase the newest technologies and advances in functional & reconstructive urology.

We are honoured to have 2 international invited faculty with us this year, Prof Véronique Phé from France and A/Prof Vincent Tse from Australia who have kindly agreed to come and share their knowledge and experience with us.

A/Prof Ng Lay Guat, our mother of reconstructive urology in Singapore, will also share her vast experience in the field.

We hope you will enjoy the programme lined up! Hope to see you soon at Uroweek!

Workshop details

Main workshop with a focus on new frontiers in reconstructive urology, including robotic and minimally invasive reconstruction, incontinence surgery and prolapse repair.

Introduction to the SpaceOAR Hands-on Training Workshop

SGH Urology Week 2025 | Thursday, 23rd October 2025

As part of SGH Urology Week 2025, we are pleased to present the SpaceOAR Hands-on Training Workshop, a focused educational event designed to equip participants with essential knowledge and foundational technical skills for the safe and effective use of peri-rectal spacers in prostate cancer care. This workshop will be held on Thursday, 23rd October 2025, and is aimed at urologists, radiation oncologists, and allied healthcare professionals involved in prostate cancer management.

The workshop begins with an overview of the clinical rationale and current evidence supporting the use of peri-rectal spacers, specifically the SpaceOAR hydrogel, in men undergoing radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer. This innovative approach has been shown to significantly reduce radiation-induced rectal toxicity, thereby enhancing patient safety and quality of life.

Participants will benefit from a well-structured program combining comprehensive didactic lectures, stimulator-based hands-on training provided in collaboration with our industry partner, Boston Scientific, and live surgical demonstrations with expert-led case discussions.

By the end of the workshop, attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the indications, benefits, and technique of peri-rectal spacer injection. Importantly, they will acquire basic procedural competency, forming the critical first step toward independent practice under proctorship.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:

• Live Case Demonstration

• Didactic Lectures by Team of Experts – Urologists and Radiation Oncologists

• Hands-on Simulator Training • Certificate of Attendance

Workshop Details

Mediconsult is hosting a dinner talk specifically for residents and trainees. This event will provide an opportunity to discuss complex cases in functional urology and urodynamics. Trainees can engage in in-depth conversations and collaborative learning around challenging clinical scenarios.

This is an invitation only event and the dinner location will be confirmed in due course.

Distinguished Annual Lecturer: Prof Véronique Phé

The SGH Urology Annual Lectureship is the highest honour conferred by the department upon an internationally renowned expert in the field of urology. Prof Phé will share about her struggles being a Cambodian refugee and how she managed to climb up the ranks to be the first female Professor of Urology in France, and a world leading expert in robotic reconstructive surgery.
