PROOF

Endo-urology has replaced open surgery in many areas with better comfort and lower morbidity and mortality for patients. It also makes it possible to carry out more precise explorations and to streamline patient care.


We have therefore regularly organized training workshops in Urological Endoscopy for several years in response to a real need for this teaching in our regions, with a more than encouraging result since to date no French-speaking African Faculty of Medicine offers this training. formal and structured way.


Indeed, Endo-Urology, currently recognized as a discipline in urology, is experiencing very rapid development allowing the treatment of several pathologies of the urinary system.
