Treating kidney stones without surgical scar
Topic synopsis from Dr Chong Kian Tai:
Treatment of larger kidney stones has evolved from extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), but it may need multiple surgical skin incisions and possible renal parenchyma damage. This talk will discuss the new roles for retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) to do endoscopy laser stone surgery without any surgical skin scars.

- Advances in medical science that has enabled the utility of sentinel node mapping to reduce the morbidity of systematic lymphadenectomy without sacrificing accuracy
- Medical treatment of young endometrial cancer patients who want children
- How molecular genetics has affected the staging and adjuvant treatment of early cancers
