INVITATION
Pediatric Urology in Daily Practice, the First Symposium of "Practical Urology at KLINA" was held in ’t Elzenveld in Antwerp on Saturday, October 21, 2000.
The formula proved to be a major success. Some of the world’s most eminent authorities presented outstanding state of the art lectures on topics of daily interest.
Together with a carefully selected local faculty and a highly interested audience they subsequently joined in animated round table discussions.
The same formula will be maintained for this Second Symposium "Laparoscopic Renal Surgery". Laparoscopic Renal Surgery without doubt is one of the "hottest" urological topics of the moment. Therefore we invited the world’s foremost experts to share their impressive expertise with us.
Speakers have been encouraged to stage highly educational multimedia "performances": at the conclusion of the Symposium laparoscopic renal surgery should hold no more secrets to all those present.
True to form an outstanding gastronomic lunch prepared by award winning chefs Stefan and Kristof Boxy will enlighten the spirits.
As we are sure this Symposium will answer a lot of questions, we do hope you will join us on Saturday, October 19, 2002.
To assure a smooth organization we would urge you to register early and before October 05, 2002.
