Adnkronos Rome, November 8 (Adnkronos Salute) – The University Urology Department of the Foggia Polyclinic, headed by Giuseppe Carrieri, president of the Italian Society of Urology (SIU) and dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Foggia, is a key player at the SIU National Congress, a leading event in urology, currently underway in Sorrento. Two highly specialized surgical procedures were performed in the operating rooms of the Foggia Polyclinic's Urology Department and broadcast live nationwide at the SIU meeting, allowing urologists from across Italy to witness the innovative procedures in real time.
Gian Maria Busetto and Nicola d'Altilia, from the Urology Department of the Foggia Polyclinic, performed two cutting-edge minimally invasive surgeries: a holmium laser enucleation (HoLep) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and a robotic colposacropexy (CSP) for the correction of female pelvic organ prolapse, respectively. These procedures represent the pinnacle of modern urological surgery, allowing for maximum precision and safety, minimizing surgical trauma and recovery time. "Participating in the SIU conference with live-streamed presentations is a source of pride and demonstrates the expertise, innovation, and clinical quality that characterize the Urology School of the Foggia Polyclinic," stated the Polyclinic's Special Commissioner, Giuseppe Pasqualone.
"We are particularly proud that the University of Foggia is participating in such a high-level scientific event, which brings together nationally and internationally renowned experts in the field of urology," commented Rector Lorenzo Lo Muzio. "Events like this represent not only an opportunity for scientific discussion, but also a moment of growth for our academic community. I would like to thank Professor Giuseppe Carrieri, his colleagues in the Department of Medicine and Surgery, and the professionals involved for their commitment in consolidating the University of Foggia's role as a center of excellence in research and specialized medical training." Carrieri concludes: "The use of the most advanced laser and robotic technologies confirms the Urology Department of Foggia as a highly complex national reference center."
