With this year's iteration of SGH Urology Week focusing on benign prostate enlargement (BPH), I am proud to present the Advanced BPH Symposium.
The theme could not be more apt, as the world shifts to a more patient-centric treatment paradigm, enabled by advances in BPH surgery in recent years. This philosophy can be summarised into 3 words: Bespoke, Precise, Holistic.
We have a line-up of illustrious local and international speakers, who will be sharing their insight and perspectives on BPH Surgery, encompassing minimally invasive surgical treatment (MIST) options, endoscopic prostate enucleation (AEEP), functional urology, challenging cases and new innovations.
There will be a live surgery showcase by our in-house BPH Team on HoLEP, Rezum, UroLift, and I-TIND.
We hope you will enjoy the programme. Most importantly, we hope this will be an opportunity to foster closer friendship and deeper collaboration.
See you at SGH Urology Week 2026!
