SEMINAR DIARY FROM FELLOW
Diary of Veronika Sturcova Kaliska, MD
Sunday, July 09th
Although I was tired after the long trip to Salzburg I preferred to take the public transport instead of
a taxi knowing the bus would take me through the beautiful city centre on the way to the castle.
Then the iron gate of wonderful Schloss Arenberg opened and everything started. The reception staff
was very friendly and helpful. My single room was comfortably equipped and offered a lovely view to
green Würth sculpture garden.
At 7 pm we all met for the evening welcome drink with the faculty members, all of whom were
introduced to us and the introductions of all participants followed. After the dinner, most of us spent
the rest of the evening engaging in pleasant conversation in the lounge before we moved to bed in
the late hours.
It is going to be a long day tomorrow.
Monday, July 10th
The first day started with a 30-minute pre-seminar test, which covered the entire scope of seminar
themes. We will take the same test again for reference at the end of the week.
The theme of the day was prostate cancer. Dr. Walz talked about the role of imaging in the
diagnostics, active surveillance and treatment of prostate cancer. He mentioned indication for MRI
targeted biopsy of patients with prior negative biopsy. Prof. Barbieri continued with risk stratification
and evaluation of the patient and also with new biomarkers.
The coffee break is essential for our brains, so after short refreshment we were ready for radical
prostatectomy with Prof. Scherr and his tips and tricks for nerve sparing surgery enriched with
techniques for optimizing the return of continence. A perfect presentation, very helpful for practice
in my opinion. The rest of the lectures were dedicated to treatment of locally advanced as well as
metastatic cancer.
After delicious lunch, we continued with the first group of case presentations by seminar fellows. We
all engaged in very fruitful discussion and - as we were all coming from different countries - many
cases are really unique and therefore interesting. Have you ever seen an echinococcus bladder cyst in
your practice?
After the wrap up of the presentation session, some of us decided to go for a short walk around
Salzburg. Later after the dinner we met again in the lounge for talk and couple of drinks before we
went to sleep.
Tuesday, July 11th
Urinary tract infections day. The morning session with Dr. Grabe was focused on the new EAU
guidelines classification of UTI and sepsis followed by investigation possibilities. One of the slides
surprised me. Does each of our bodies really contain 2.5 kilograms of bacteria? Interesting idea. Prof.Aulitzky talked about the impact of urogenital infection on male fertility and described several methods of sperm retrieval techniques used in treatment of an infertile couple, including microsurgical repair of iatrogenic injury of the vas. Nowadays, a highly pressing topic, since nearly 20% of couples have difficulty conceiving. After the coffee break, we returned to UTI, its management of treatment, and importance of rational antimicrobial prophylaxis. We were looking forward to our well-deserved lunch and discussion over a cup of coffee and creamy dessert. Relaxed, we were able to continue with the second part of case reports presented by participants, and widely discussed again. During my free time in the afternoon, I went to the train station to buy a return ticket to Prague. Again, I cannot help but admire this wonderful town. I love its picturesque narrow streets lined with small shops and cafes. The rainy weather made us sleepy so after dinner I went to bed early. Wednesday, July 12th Wednesday was dedicated to urolithiasis. Excellent endo-urologist Professor Traxer shared with us his rich experience with Holmium YAG Laser treatment for retrograde intrarenal kidney stone surgery down to the last detail. Obviously, I have to change my approach to the work with a laser fibre and shorten it more often. Prof. Lee came forward with news in PCNL treatment, talked about advantages and disadvantages of prone and supine position of the patient, miniaturized PCNL and combined approach with simultaneous PCNL and endoscopic procedure. He also mentioned innovations in technology in the most recent years. After a short break we talked about some differences between EAU and AUA Guidelines in urolithiasis treatment and finally received some greatly appreciated tips and tricks in RIRS from Professor Traxer. This sort of practical information cannot be found in any literature. This day was really great. Our brains need glucose, let’s have lunch. This afternoon starts with hands-on laparoscopy training for the first half of the group, which means I am free for the rest of the day. I went for a walk to buy some presents for my family. I really need “Mozartkugeln” and Zotter chocolate. Dinner time found us meeting in the Schloss Arenberg restaurant. After dinner most of the group moved to a nearby club to enjoy mojito and unexpected celebration. It is Abdel’s 30th birthday today! Best wishes from all of us! That was a long night. Thursday, July 13th Here comes BPH and functional urology. Prof. Chapple directed our attention to the issue of complexity of symptoms and medical assessment of male LUTS. He emphasized the importance of the frequency-volume chart in the investigation of a man with benign prostatic hyperplasia, so often omitted. He also mentioned the benefits of combination therapy and concluded his presentation with a wonderful warning. “There is a man around his prostate.” Prof. Lee presented surgical management of BPH from gold standard TURP through different laser technologies to prostatic urethral lift, Rezum and Aquabeam.
The time after the coffee break was dedicated to underactive bladder with Prof. Chapple, followed by Dr. Cruz’s presentation concerning pharmacology and function of the lower urinary tract. AUA BPH guidelines and related cases closed the fourth seminar day. The discussion was interrupted because of a planned group photo with Faculty members in front of the castle. The debate continued even during the lunch. I moved upstairs to join hands-on laparoscopy training in the afternoon. Five laparoscopy trainers were prepared for 16 participants, we were using five different models for basic skill training under the supervision of skilled surgeons Dr.Tokas, Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Wagner. Three hours passed too fast. In the evening we were invited to a concert. We enjoyed the excellent soprano voice of Erin Snell accompanied by the talented pianist Tatjana Meyer. Among others, this duo performed the Czech ‘Song to the Moon‘ from ‘Rusalka‘ opera by Antonin Dvorak. Friday, July 14th Last day’s theme was reconstructive urology. Professor Chapple prepared for us an illustrative and detailed description of different types of urethroplasties. Next presentation’s concern was stress urinary incontinence in women and also in men, it mentioned pharmacological and surgical treatment. Dr. Goldberg showed us detailed view of female pelvic organ prolapse presented in almost 40% of women in the age over 40 with its huge impact on quality of life. Surgery involves multi-compartment approach as well as different types of meshes. The last seminar day ended with discussion of cases. We enjoyed lunch together and went back for last workshop with case reports prepared by participants. The topic of my presentation was epididymitis followed by testicular infarction in patient with Pseudomonas aeruginosa urinary infection. Discussion was just short, we are already tired. The post-seminar test brought a surprising feeling. I am not sure if my choice of answers has improved since the first test and I finally found out this is overall group feeling. Probably we need more time to absorb such a huge amount of information. And finally, there was a farewell reception and Graduation Dinner. Prof. Aulitzky told us his final touching speech. A little bit sad in this moment. In this one week, we have established not only professional contacts, but also a friendship. I wish to thank to all of those who sacrificed their own time to give us their experiences and knowledge in the friendly atmosphere, as well as those who brought us this beautiful encounter. I hope we will meet again. Veronika Sturcova Kaliska
SEMINAR DIARY FROM FELLOW
Diary of Artur Lemiński, MD, PhD, FEBU
Pomeranian Medical University, Szczecin, Poland
09.07-15.07.2017
9th of July. I arrived to Salzburg early afternoon and headed to Schloss Arenberg directly from the
airport. The castle looked magnificent with a large park surrounding it, full of pieces of modern
sculpture. I received a friendly welcome form the reception staff, together with some basic information
about the Seminar, Salzburg, and the castle itself. We met the Faculty during the welcome drink, and
were greeted by professors Aulitzky and Scherr, who encouraged us to participate actively in the
Seminar. We familiarized and socialized with each other during the welcome dinner which lasted well
into the evening.
10th of July, Monday. Woke up early, and had a nice 5km jog with a Lithuanian colleague along the
banks of the Salzach river. We didn’t know this will become our daily routine yet. The Seminar started
shortly after the breakfast with a short introduction and a pre-seminar test, which was fairly
straightforward, perhaps except some laser-specific questions. The first session included lectures on
prostate cancer imaging and surgical evaluation, which were given by doctors Jochen Waltz (Institut
Paoli-Calmettes, Marseille, France) and Chris Barbieri (Weill Cornell, NY, USA). These brought
significant updates on the use of multiparametric MRI and PET/CT in the diagnosis and clinical staging
of prostate cancer, along with overview of risk stratification, and expectant management strategies.
After the coffee break we enjoyed a great talk on the surgical management of organ confined disease
by dr Scherr (Weill Cornell, NY, USA), followed by lectures on treatment for locally advanced and
metastatic disease given by doctors Waltz and Barbieri. Afternoon brought a very expected lunch
break, after which the fellows were presenting cases. My case was a cytoreductive prostatectomy in
the oligometastatic setting, which came under heavy fire from the Faculty as not being performed as
a part of a clinical trial. We enjoyed this afternoon though, as many of the fellows had very interesting
clinical problems to present.
11th of July, Tuesday. Started with a Polish-Lithuanian running event again, after which we enjoyed
the day full of lectures dedicated to infections in urology. This was largely due to outstanding efforts
of prof. Magnus Grabe (Univerisity of Lund, Sweden), whose talks covered the areas of urinary and
male genital tract infections, their management and antibiotic prophylaxis in urological procedures.
He was joined by prof. Aulitzky (Weill Cornell, NY, USA), who dwelled on intriguing and not fully
understood relationship between infection and infertility. These excellent talks sparked significant
interest and intense debates concerning use of antibiotics in chronic prostatitis and optimal
antimicrobial prophylactic policies. The rest of the day was packed with case presentations, again often
dealing with very unusual clinical entities.
12th of July, Wednesday. After the morning run and a nourishing breakfast we started another day of
the Seminar dedicated to urolithiasis. It’s hard to believe we’re almost half way through, but everyone
stays on high alert not to lose a thing, even though the evening lasted quite long. We began with prof.
Oliver Traxer’s (University of Paris, France) lecture on lasers in the treatment of urinary stones.
Everyone was impressed with his profound understanding of physics of lasers, and found his lecture
(and visuals!) very informative. The next talks were provided by doctor Richard Lee (Weill Cornell, NY,
USA) and brought notable updates on the evolution of percutaneous nephrolitotripsy and ESWL. It
may seem at first these procedures are slowly becoming obsolete, due to rapid progress in flexible
ureteroscopy, however their robustness and cost effectiveness makes it likely they will constitute the
mainstay of endourology for the years to come. Last of the lectures was given by prof. Traxer, and dealtwith retrograde intrarenal surgery. Again lots of technical information, very nice visuals and practical tips were delivered, but regretfully only few of us have access to flexible ureteroscopes on a daily basis. The hands-on training in laparoscopy started after the lunch break, and consisted of some basic dexterity promoting exercise in trainers. Frankly, even though there were numerous training stations available, there was not much to do for more skilled laparoscopic surgeons. A RIRS training could be an attractive alternative for these participants who won’t benefit from basic laparoscopy. 13th of July, Thursday. I had to run alone, as my Lithuanian partner wanted to have some rest. I chose to run along the the Salzach river towards the centre, as this provides amazing views of the old town, with a Hohensalzburg Castle overlooking the city from the top of the Festungsberg mountain. The lectures started shortly after breakfast, and were largely devoted to functional urology, again with top- notch lecturers like prof. Chris Chapple (Scheffield Hallam University, UK), dr Robert Lee and prof. Francisco Cruz (University of Porto, Portugal) addressing the issues of medical assessment of male LUTS, surgical management of BPH, bladder underactivity and the pharmacology of urinary tract. Having so many experts in functional urology available for discussion, the fellows were eager to ask questions and participated actively in debate. After the lunch we enjoyed a free afternoon, as the other half of the group was having laparoscopy training. I took the opportunity for sightseeing and visited the old town, the Schloss Mirabell and neighboring Mirabell gardens, where I spent a pleasant afternoon. We met again at a Grand Hall in the evening for a Chamber Music concert performed by Artists from the Mozarteum University: Tatyana Meyer (piano) and Erin Snell (soprano). 14th of July, Friday. The calm and relaxing atmosphere of the Schloss Arenberg could not stop the time from passing fast, and as I started my last morning jog with an Austrian colleague, we found it hard to accept as true, that the Seminar is coming to an end. Obviously I was missing my family, kids and friends, but the hospitality we received, quickly made us feel like home. The last lectures of our seminar were dedicated to urethral strictures (prof. Chapple), stress urinary incontinence (prof. Cruz) and pelvic organ prolapse (dr Roger P. Goldberg). The morning session ended with a consensus discussion among the faculty and fellows on the use of meshes in stress urinary incontinence. Afternoon session comprised the last part of cases presentations from fellows, which were followed by a post-seminar test. After the comprehensive week everyone tackled the test with very few difficulties. The last, and the most pleasant part of the seminar programme was the farewell dinner with the Faculty, during which the fellows were granted their certificates. I was very pleased to acknowledge that together with two colleagues from Bulgaria – dr Petar Antonov and dr Kremena Petkova we were awarded Certificates of Academic Excellence for the results of the post seminar test. The dinner and drinks lasted well into the night, but we knew this is our last day together, so nobody wanted to sleep. During the seminar week I made many new friends, whom I’ll always look forward to seeing again.
