Fusing technological advances with humane patient care
One of the overarching themes of this congress was the combined challenge of not only keeping up with the rapidly-evolving technological innovations in the field, but also to incorporate them into the patient care setting without affecting the fundamental relationship with the patient. Several of these novel techniques were demonstrated during the live surgery sessions and included, among others, robotic flexible ureteroscopy, 3D-HD-videotechnology for laparoscopic procedures, and image-guided endoscopy.
Online conversations with #eau14
Twitter became a very important communication tool for the congress. In the first dedicated social media session, attendants received useful information on how to deal with social media as a doctor. For the duration of the congress 600 participants kept the conversation on Twitter going by sending a combined number of 4,645 tweets, which in turn generated close to 6 million impressions.
New chapter in leadership
During the General Assembly, Prof. Chris Chapple (middle) was elected as the next Secretary General.
