We're on the ground at ESGURS-ESAU in Ghent.

Following from afar or attending in person, here's a quick look at the congress atmosphere and the urology community coming together.

Barcelona brought together expertise, innovation, and hands-on learning.

A big thank you to all participants and faculty who contributed to an inspiring penile implant training focused on advancing prosthetic urology education and improving patient care.

The best lessons aren't always found in textbooks.

Sometimes they come from seeing how an expert approaches a challenge. Asking one more question. Sharing one more insight.

That's what makes meetings like ESGURS-ESAU so valuable.

We're looking forward to joining the conversations that help advance reconstructive and andrological care.

Meet us in Ghent, Oude Vismijn on September 24 and 25!

Survival matters. Quality of life matters too.

During Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, conversations often focus on early detection and treatment.

But there is another important conversation that deserves attention: life after prostate cancer.

Many men experience changes in urinary and sexual function following treatment, yet these topics can be difficult to discuss openly.

Increasing awareness means looking at the whole patient experience, not only cancer outcomes, but also the physical, emotional, and relationship impacts that may follow.

This September, let's continue to encourage honest dialogue between patients, partners, and healthcare professionals about all aspects of prostate cancer care, including erectile dysfunction and recovery after treatment.

When patients understand what to expect and what support is available, they are better equipped to make informed decisions and seek help when they need it.

As we mark World Sexual Health Day today, it is an important opportunity to raise awareness of erectile dysfunction, which can significantly impact quality of life and is still too often surrounded by stigma and silence.

In Europe, up to 30% of men suffer from moderate to severe erectile dysfunction. [1] Erectile dysfunction is the consistent inability to sustain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. That can be not getting an erection at all, getting an erection inconsistently, or getting an erection that doesn’t stay hard enough for sex. [2]

Raising awareness helps reduce stigma and encourages men to seek information, support, and appropriate care.

Florence is known for masterpieces that have stood the test of time.

In healthcare, the most meaningful work is rarely displayed in a museum.

It's seen in the moments when patients regain confidence, independence, and quality of life.

From September 10-12, 2026, we're looking forward to joining experts from around the world at iMARS 2026 (International Masterclass in Andrology and Reconstructive Surgery) at the Innovation Centre de Fondazione CR Firenze in Florence, Italy, and connecting with those helping create these moments every day.

See you in Florence.

Many people living with urological conditions suffer in silence because of stigma and misunderstanding.

This #UrologyAwarenessMonth, let's change that.

Greater awareness can support earlier diagnosis. Earlier diagnosis can help improve outcomes.

Together, we can create a culture where seeking help is encouraged, not avoided.

What a season!
Over 200 healthcare professionals trained, dozens of learning moments shared, and countless connections made across our Interventional Urology community.

As we gear up for the next season, we're looking back at some of our favourite highlights.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a success!

Focus matters in every surgical procedure.
Especially during prostate enucleation procedures.

So does communication.
So does consistency.

Yet noise is often accepted as part of the operating room environment.

With Thulium Fiber Laser technology, Coloplast TFL Drive was designed to bring a more consistent experience to surgeons throughout the procedure.

At Coloplast, we believe surgeons deserve better.

TFL Drive.
Less noise. More focus [1,5].

How loud is our daily life?
So loud that most of us barely notice it anymore.

At home.
At work.
On the move.

Noise has become normal.
But should it be?
Especially in operating rooms.

Where surgeons need focus.
Where communication matters.
Where every patient matters.

At Coloplast, we believe surgeons deserve better.
Less noise. More focus [4,5].

Chronic stenting comes with risks like encrustation, migration, and obstruction, which demand high-performance devices.

The PEARLS multicenter retrospective study, focused on long-term ureteral stenting with silicone stents, found:
• 88% failure-free survival at 6 months**
• 69% failure-free survival at 12 months**
• Low encrustation and low stent migration rates **

Designed for long-term placement, up to 12 months, ImaJin® Hydro is a good solution to meet the needs of patients requiring chronic stenting.

**Data was taken from Imajin and Imajin Hydro double-J stents combined

The operating room demands concentration.
Yet noise has become part of the routine.

Some surgeons wear headphones.
Not for the music.
For the silence.

Perhaps we've accepted operating room noise for too long.
At Coloplast, we believe surgeons deserve better.

Less noise. More focus [2,3].

Biofilm formation and mineral encrustation are known to compromise stent safety.

In a prospective randomized multicenter study conducted across four European centers, silicone hydro-coated stents, such as ImaJin® Hydro, demonstrated:
• 36% less mineral encrustation*
• 25% less biofilm formation*

These findings were measured after a three-week dwell time, in comparison with standard polyurethane stents.
Lower encrustation and biofilm levels are associated with improved outcomes and a reduced need for earlier stent removal.

Stent-related urinary symptoms can impact quality of life from the very first days post-procedure.

In a randomized clinical trial, patients with a silicone hydro-coated stent reported significantly fewer urinary symptoms, with reduction starting day 2 and improving through day 20 (-9% post-procedure to -17% at 3 weeks).*
