Thursday, February 19, 2026, 3:00 PM - Saturday, February 21, 2026, 11:00 AM, Orange, CA, Orange, CA


AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (19.25 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (19.25 hours)

Accumulating evidence shows that holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is associated with more favorable outcomes than other endoscopic approaches including shorter hospital stay, reduced bleeding complications, and shorter catheterization time. Moreover, HoLEP is not limited by size of the prostate i.e., size independent endoscopic treatment modality. Despite the above advantages, the long learning curve estimated to range from 30-50 cases hinders the wide adoption of this technique.

1. Identify the psychomotor skills and cognitive knowledge required to perform a laser enucleation of the prostate procedure from experts in the field.
2. Complete 3 full HoLEP procedures on simulation hydrogel models.
3. Engage in discussions with an expert panel to master ‘tips & tricks’ of laser enucleation of the prostate.
