Sechenov Excision of Bladder Tumor with a Morcellator has been awarded best video at a European conference

While the meeting of the European Urological Association is going to be in March, Sechenov University researchers are already guaranteed to be successful.

Our video has got acknowledged as one of three best surgeries to be discussed at the forum. The author of the technique, Dmitry Enikeev, Deputy Director for Research at the Institute for Urology and Reproductive Health, has received a letter with congratulations from the organizing committee.

Video presentations are the most prestigious event at this large urological conference. Annually, thousands of videos are submitted, and only about one hundred are included into the program and compete with each other for the top spots. To beat the competition and be in the top three means to present the technique to the whole world.

Russian urologists submitted a video on modernized en bloc resection. Up until now, tumors larger than 3 cm have been considered challenging to remove quickly and efficiently as a single tissue mass due to narrow instruments for extraction. In cases such as this, another approach had to be employed - to cut the lesion layer by layer with an electric loop, which takes more time and is associated with greater risks of complications.

Sechenov University urologists used a method traditionally reserved for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The separated large tumor was fragmented and evacuated with a special instrument called morcellator. The second stage involved removal of the tumor base for subsequent histological evaluation and staging.

The conference is going to be held in Amsterdam at the end of March and attract about 15,000 participants from 100 countries. For 5 days urologists and other healthcare professionals are going to take part in research sessions, live surgery discussions and training programs.
