February 23, 2019 to February 24, 2019

Don't miss the only hands-on PCNL course of 2019 that includes a hands-on cadaver experience with one-on-one instruction with world renowned faculty!

Directed by Ralph V. Clayman, MD and Jaime Landman, MD, this newly enhanced course will feature a combination of didactic lectures, surgical video cases, panel discussions, Q & A sessions, an interactive review using audience response and hands-on surgical skill stations that allow each participant to perform percutaneous stone removal from start to finish on human cadavers for more accurate training. Other features of the course:

  • NEW 2019 PCNL coding changes presented by Dr. Michael Ferragamo, leading coding consultant in the field
  • 1:2 faculty to attendee ratio for optimum learning experience
  • Additional lectures that will  also improve your ureteroscopic skills and enable you to perform the complete metabolic evaluation of your stone-forming patients
  • Combined experience of the faculty represents well over 100 years of PCNL experience- more than any other course
