INVITATION

Dear Participants,

We are pleased to invite you to an important event where you can deepen your knowledge and experience in the field of urology anatomy, which will take place in Istanbul.

Istanbul, a city with a long history, is not only the cultural, artistic, and scientific hub of Turkey, but also one of the leading centers in the world. Situated at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, this unique city has been home to many civilizations and cultures, and continues to host important scientific events that contribute to the advancement of modern medicine. The 7th edition of the FUROS (Functional Urological Course with 3D Printed Models and Fresh Frozen Cadavers) will take place in the magical atmosphere of Istanbul, bringing together leading experts and scientists in the field.

Our course offers a unique opportunity to enhance the foundational knowledge and understanding of urological anatomy. Participants will have the chance to deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge of urological anatomy in light of the latest techniques and methods. Under the guidance of prominent academics, they will also have the opportunity to develop their clinical skills. The course will focus on the anatomical practice of functional urology, neuro-urology, and urogynecological surgeries, with an emphasis on the proper use of technology.

The course will be organized into the following 8 stations:

Practical Anatomical Dissection and Simulation Stations: Participants will rotate through cadaver-based practical stations to gain hands-on experience with detailed anatomical dissections.

  • Station 1
    Learning Anatomic Landmarks in Pelvic- Perineal Region (Cadavers - Anatomic 3D Printed Models)
  • Station 2
