Welcome

Dear friends and colleagues:

On behalf of the Urology Department at La Paz Hospital, we welcome you to the Urolap2026 International Urology Course, continuing our tradition of organizing it every three years. Although the original name comes from the merger of Urology-LaPaz and Urology-Laparoscopy, the future is currently moving toward robotic surgery, which will be widely represented during the course.

We will incorporate not only technological but also scientific innovations in the various fields of urology: oncology, reconstructive urology, andrology, pelvic floor urology, endourology, and stone surgery. To this end, we will have the participation of the entire urology team at La Paz Hospital and, especially, leading national and international experts.

We will feature live broadcasts of numerous surgeries, pre-recorded videos of surgeries, lectures, and debates.

We have prepared this program with great enthusiasm, to share with you the latest developments in our specialty. The future will undoubtedly belong to those who have an open mind to innovation and maverick pursuit of excellence.

Madrid is a cosmopolitan city, friendly to all, with fantastic infrastructure and leisure opportunities that, along with the pleasant autumn climate, will make your stay unforgettable.

I hope to see you in person and that this new edition will once again be very beneficial in terms of teaching and professional contacts.

 

Best regards,

 

Luis Martínez-Piñeiro
Chairman of the Urology Department
Hospital La Paz
Director of Urolap2026
