several colleagues from my department<br />
recommended me to apply for a nuf<br />
travel grant, so i did, and i was granted<br />
one.<br />
Iarrived in Oslo one Sunday in March<br />
<strong>2013</strong>. It was a beautiful day. Full <strong>of</strong><br />
expectations I took the T‐bane (Oslo<br />
metro) to Holmenkollen, the highest peak<br />
in Oslo. Here I found ‘Lysebu’, my home<br />
for the next five days. ”Oppe i lyset inden<br />
i Skogen” they write and so it is. A wonderful<br />
brown wooden house bought by the<br />
Norwegian people as a present in appreciation<br />
to the Danish people for their food aid<br />
during World War II. Young Danes visiting<br />
Oslo for academic purposes can reside<br />
here at a subsidised rate.<br />
My goal for the attaChMent was to<br />
witness reconstructive urological surgery<br />
and to gain a better understanding <strong>of</strong> neurogenic<br />
bladder dysfunction. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor<br />
Steen Walter, Odense Universitetshospital,<br />
and senior consultant Alexander Schultz,<br />
Rikshospitalet Oslo, kindly arranged my<br />
stay.<br />
Alexander Schultz arranged a very interesting<br />
programme for the week.<br />
The University Hospital in Oslo consists<br />
<strong>of</strong> four different hospitals: Rikshospitalet,<br />
Radiumhospitalet, Ullevål Hospital and<br />
Aker Hospital. The Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Urology</strong><br />
is spread over three <strong>of</strong> these hospitals with<br />
activity at Rikshospitalet (reconstructive<br />
and neuro-urology), Radiumhospitalet<br />
(uro‐oncology) and Aker Hospital (general<br />
urology including, stones, LUTS, urooncology,<br />
acute urology).<br />
The <strong>Urology</strong> section at Rikshospitalet<br />
is manned by three consultants and two<br />
residents. It is also administratively included<br />
in the surgical clinic at Rikshospitalet<br />
which is comprised <strong>of</strong> the urology, upper<br />
gastro‐intestinal, transplantation and<br />
paediatric surgical units. Residents are<br />
expected to cover all four units when on<br />
call. <strong>Urology</strong> is a surgical sub-speciality in<br />
Norway.<br />
