the evidence for lymphadenectomy and delegates should leave with a clear understanding of which patients
have most to gain from lymphatic clearance and how extensive that clearance needs to be.
09.05 - 09.35 EAU Guidelines Office case discussion Upper urinary tract tumours
Moderator: M. Rouprêt, Paris (FR)
Panel: J. Palou, Barcelona (ES)
R.E. Zigeuner, Graz (AT)
Aims and objectives
The new version of the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines on upper urinary tract tumours
known as urothelial carcinomas of the upper tract (UTUCs) are likely to be released in 2013. The EAU
Guideline working group for UTUCs has prepared current guidelines to provide evidence-based information
for the clinical management of these rare tumours and to help clinicians incorporate these recommendations
into their practice. Through clinical cases, we will emphasize the most important Take-Home messages and
address concrete issues.
09.35 - 09.55 Société Internationale d’Urologie (SIU) lecture The role of ESWL in upper urinary tract stones
M.R. Desai, Naidad (IN)
09.55 - 10.10 Update Interventional imaging in upper urinary tract stone disease: What’s new?
C.M. Scoffone, Turin (IT)
Aims and objectives
Endourological treatment of urolithiasis is a field where the concept of image-guided therapy has the chance
to display all its value. In fact, interventional imaging during the endoscopic treatment of ureteral and pyelocalyceal
stones is fundamental for the performance of a safe and effective procedure. The integrated use of
fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance and endoscopic vision will be discussed,
as well as the most recent advances and innovations regarding these consolidated techniques (rotational 3D
fluoroscopy, Doppler, 3D and 4D ultrasound, flat-panel volume CT and CT/pyelography, open configuration
MRI, image fusion techniques, HD endoscopic imaging) and the need for a multidisciplinary cooperation
between endourologist and radiologist. The issue of radioprotection will also be addressed (including
the X-ray-free percutaneous access), as well as the correlation of the mentioned tools with preoperative
diagnostic work up.

stones

What is the best energy for fragmentation?
T. Bach, Hamburg (DE)
Aims and objectives
Rapid technological developments continuously set new standards in stone treatment. The combined
introduction of digital flexible ureteroscopes, new laser settings, superflexible utensils and pressurecontrolled
irrigation with the possibility of on-demand flushing clearly has expanded the indications for
ureteroscopic renal stone management. In complex cases combined (antegrade – retrograde) procedures
are increasingly being used. In this session we will – through case discussions – explore pros and cons of
different approaches to the endourological treatment of renal stones: which cases are most suitable for a
