Robot-Assisted HOLEP & THULEP Masterclass

Training Overview

Robot-Assisted HOLEP & THULEP Masterclass is an advanced, simulation-based surgical training program designed for urologists, surgical fellows, and robotic surgery teams aiming to enhance their technical skills and procedural mastery in laser enucleation of the prostate. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical education with high-fidelity, hands-on simulation to provide comprehensive training in both conventional and robot-assisted approaches to HOLEP and THULEP.

The program begins with foundational sessions on prostatic anatomy, BPH pathophysiology, laser physics, and robotic system integration for endoscopic enucleation procedures. Participants are guided through step-by-step procedural workflows, including mucosal incision techniques, enucleation plane identification, adenoma dissection, hemostasis strategies, and morcellation principles.

In the simulation laboratory, attendees participate in immersive procedural rehearsals using advanced laser enucleation simulators, robotic console training modules, and 3D prostate models that replicate real intraoperative conditions. Under expert faculty supervision, participants practice laser handling, enucleation maneuvers, robotic ergonomics, and precision suturing where applicable. Video-based case reviews and live faculty demonstrations further enhance skill acquisition and procedural confidence.

The course places strong emphasis on complication prevention, intraoperative troubleshooting, and optimization of functional outcomes. Faculty-led discussions address patient selection, perioperative management, postoperative continence preservation, and long-term outcomes following HOLEP, THULEP, and robot-assisted laser enucleation techniques.

By the end of the training, participants will have developed advanced technical proficiency, procedural fluency, and clinical confidence in performing both conventional and robot-assisted HOLEP and THULEP in daily urologic practice.
