Munich as Capital of the State of Bavaria combines its international flair with the sociability and coziness of Bavarian Culture. Based on personal knowledge, we want to show you this place with all its cultural facettes to make your visit an unforgettable one. The Westin Grand Hotel has hosted already important National and International Meetings offering the advantage for delegates to stay almost in the center of the city. We are proud to provide a National Organizing Committee and an International Scientific Board with experts in the field of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Endourology, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy, and Uro-oncology. The Congress will be supported by the Academy of the German Urologists, the German Shock Wave Society, the EAU-section of Uro-technology, and many National Endourology Societies. This allows us to update all technological innovations in the increasing field of video-endoscopic surgery and focal therapy in Urology. Live-Surgery (Endourologists at work) will be supported by the Departments of Urology, Medical School Rechts der Isar in Munich (Head: Prof. Dr. J. Gschwend) and Klinikum Harlaching (Head: Prof. Dr. C. Chaussy). Traditionally, we will demonstrate endourological techniques, focal therapy, laparoscopic and robotic assisted surgery as well as transurethral procedures and SWL. Hands-on courses focusing on ureteroscopy, laparoscopy, and transurethral techniques will allow beginners to be trained by the experts, but will also help experienced urologist to improve their surgical skills. Additionally, we provide Masterclasses in Endourology as well as an Interactive virtual training course for laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, a absolutely new training method, based on more than 500 recorded cases of laparoscopic radical prostatectomies. 14 INVITATION The well-established Pro-and-Con-debates will be integrated to stimulate the discussion of ‘hot topics’ among the delegates. Additionally, during the main session we will invite experts to give state-of-the-art lectures on issues challenging the future of our profession, such as Robotics, NOTES, and Focal Therapy. Subplenary sessions organized by the different special groups of our society will focus in detail on the problems and perspectives of the respective field (ie. stents, navigated surgery, training, engineering, urooncology). Every morning, we will offer Educational Courses run by the best-known International Faculty. In smaller groups, delegates will be able to ask questions and discuss their individual problems. In the tradition of the Endourological Society, we want to minimize parallel sessions in the morning to achieve a concentrated exchange of science and experience. In the afternoon, the audience will be split according to the different topics of video, oral, and poster sessions. For dedicated presentations, Videoposter-sessions (V-poster) are scheduled. The famous English Garden situated close to the Westin Grand Hotel will present an excellent stage for the Fund Run sponsoring the Joseph Segura Foundation. In the evening, delegates and faculty are cordially invited to relax in the atmosphere of the royal history in the Residence (Welcome Reception, 7th October 2009), but also experience the famous “Gemütlichkeit” of a Bavarian Beer Festival provided by an original Octoberfest-host (WCE-evening, 9th October 2009). Pre- and post-Congress tours may allow you to complete your Bavarian experience. We are looking forward to welcome you in Munich Jens Rassweiler Christian Chaussy 15 INVITATION Message from the Endourological Society The Endourological Society was established in an effort to facilitate scientific dialogue among endourologists worldwide in the form of annual meetings, circulation of scientific literature, and surgical skill training courses/hands on laboratory sessions. The Endourological Society (www.endourology.org) was founded in May 1, 1984 after a meeting in Germany, under the leadership of Dr Peter Alken. It is only fitting that the silver jubilee of the society be held in Germany, led by none other than Jens Rassweiler, trained by the stalwarts of Endourology in Germany, namely, Dr. Ferdinand Eisenberger, Dr Peter Alken and Dr Christian Chaussy. The Society and the annual meeting have had a tremendous growth, with establishment of many subgroups to accommodate varied interest. It is a pleasure to report that we now have five subgroups. Two of these subgroups, the “Engineering and Urology Society” and the “Society of Urologic Robotic Surgery”, have matured enough to have their own bylaws and elected leadership. The three subgroups “Urologic NOTES and LESS Working Group”, the “International Society Urologic Stents and the “Society of Image Guided Therapy are in the process of doing so. The original mission “Closed controlled endoscopic manipulation of the urinary tract” coined by the founding president Arthur Smith remains the theme of our society. It has been my pleasure to serve the society for 25 years, and I look forward to seeing you at the meeting, which will be a memorable event based on the organizing skills of Jens & Christian. Gopal Badlani, USA President of Endourological Society 16 INVITATION Welcome by the President of the German Society of Urology (DGU) The Chairman of the German Association of Urology is very proud that the 27th Congress of Endourology will be held in Munich this year and that our German colleague, Professor Jens Rassweiler, is the President of this meeting. From a historical point of view, Germany seems to be the cradle of modern endourology since the first cystoscopy and first laparoscopy was performed in my home town Dresden by an instrument invented by Maximilian Nitze and SWL was developed in Munich, where the meeting is located. This was the past. Today new developments take place every year, starting from robot technology to notes techniques. Therefore a wide range of different topics needs to be discussed. The World Congress on Endourology and SWL is the ideal place for such presentations of new achievements as well as the evaluation of already established techniques. On behalf of the German Society of Urology I would like to welcome all of you in Munich, an exciting and beautiful city with an impressive surrounding including high mountains and beautiful lakes. Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h. c. Manfred Wirth President of the German Society of Urology 17 INVITATION Welcome from the Prime Minister of Bavaria I cordially welcome the delegates of the World Congress on Endourology and SWL here in the Capital of Bavaria. Minimally invasive techniques significantly progressed during the recent years resulting to a great benefit for the patients who can be treated at lower risk, much simpler, and mostly more cost-effective. This is especially true for Urology with its multiple endoscopic procedures offering new possibilities. Exchange of knowledge concerning new technology is very important. Since decades, the WCE-congress represents the key-forum for this in the field of Urology. I am happy, that after 25 years this meeting takes place in Germany again, and that Munich has been chosen as venue. With the internationally well-connected new airport, the excellent infrastructure for meetings, and its unique atmosphere, the city offers optimal conditions for such an event. Munich has two world-wide recognized Medical Schools providing scientific activities on a high international level. In urology, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy as well as photodynamic therapy has been pioneered here in Munich. Bavaria is home of world leading manufacturers of Medical technology. I am convinced that also outside the exciting congress program the delegates will enjoy Munich. Eminent cultural buildings and institutions invite for sight-seeing. The famous restaurants, taverns and beer-gardens of the city offer hospitality and sociability to a great extent. The pedestrian area provides all main designer shops with local and international brands as well as cafes to make shopping an even relaxing event. Finally, the Bavarian Alpes right in front of Munich invite for pre- and postcongress tours in one of the most attractive touristic regions of Germany. I wish all delegates an interesting and informative course of the Meeting as well as a pleasant stay in Bavaria Horst Seehofer Prime Minister of the State of Bavaria 18 INVITATION Welcome from the Lord Mayor of the City of Munich Even for such a sought-after and famous congress city like Munich this is an absolutely outstanding event: For the first time after 24 years, the World Congress of endourology and shock wave lithotripsy is coming to Germany, and it is coming to the Bavarian capital city for the first time. For Munich this is a great honour and sign of distinction, but I am certain that our city will be a perfect host city to this high-ranking meeting with ca. 2,000 urologists from over 40 countries: for once, because Munich is an open city of hospitality and joyful living, a vibrant metropolis of fine arts and culture which will be offering to the participants the perfect compensation for their congress work; on the other hand, Munich is also a centre of medical science and research with a very high level of development, especially in the field of urology.

Karl Storz Lifetime Achievement Award Mrs. Sybill Storz designed the Endourology Society Award for Lifetime Vision and Achievement in Endourology. The award consists of a telescope looped in the first part of a surgical knot mounted on a rock, emblematic of the combination of rigid and flexible endoscopy for the treatment of urolithiasis. In spite of the loop in the apparently “rigid” telescope, due to the fiberoptic technology, a clear image is presented to the viewer. This award, which is accompanied by a generous honorarium, may be awarded annually to a senior endourologist whose lifetime contributions have had a major impact on the field of Endourology. Recipients: 1999 – Ralph Clayman, M.D. 2000 – Ferdinand Eisenberger, M.D. 2001 – Yoshio Aso, M.D. 2002 – Edward Lyon, M.D. 2003 – Michael Marberger, M.D. 2004 – Hiroshi Tazaki, M.D. 2005 – Alain Le Duc, M.D. 2006 – Joseph Segura, M.D. 2007 – Christian Chaussy, M.D. 2008 – Keonig Tatt Foo, M.D. 23 IN MEMORIAM Prof. Dr. med. Ferdinand Eisenberger What a way of passing away: on top of a Mountain in St. Moritz, Switzerland! It was definitively, what Ferdinand Eisenberger had in mind. However, feeling well and being in reasonale good conditions, the timing – at the age of almost 72 years – was too early. Bitz Eisenberger was a great personality, a leader with the natural sense of humor and feasibility. Scientifically, he started his carreer at the Department of Urology, Klinikum Grosshadern at the Medical School of Munich. Together with his chief Prof. Egbert Schmiedt, his co-workers Christian Chaussy, Walter Brendel, and Bernd Forssmann (from Dornier), he was significantly involved in the development of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy, a sensational technique at that time. According to this, following the pioneering first human treatment by Christian Chaussy and Dieter Jocham, Bitz Eisenberger became one of the best-known Urologists world-wide. In 1987 he was the President of the German Urology Society (DGU). He received several awards including the Livetime Achievement Award from the Endourology Society in the year 2000. Jens Rassweiler was lucky enough to be part of the team at the Department of Urology, Katharinenhospital Stuttgart, headed by Prof. Eisenberger from 1977 to 2003. Together with Kurt Miller and Gerhard Fuchs, we had to prepare the data for his slides, which was turned out to be quite a job in the pre-Power-Point era. But, we have experienced “Bitz” Eisenberger as the charming leader, how he was recognized abroad. There was no difference with respect to his in- and out-house behavior. He was an absolute authentic person, and it was fun to work for as well as to learn from him. He was an excellent surgeon and scientist. On the other hand, he had the gift to provide us the room of freedom for future ideas, which made a lot possible at these exciting days. Bitz was married to his charming wife Uschi who accompanied him to all major events. They had two children and two grand-children. We really would have enjoyed inviting him to Munich as a guest of honor. Farewell Bitz, we will never forget you! Jens Rassweiler 24 Christian Chaussy AWARDS Cook Urological, “Arthur” Award Mr. Jerry French and Mr. Walter Ryan of Cook Urological, Inc. designed the “Arthur” Award in honor of Dr. Arthur Smith. The illuminated and beautifully illustrated glass block award is presented to a urologist who is within 10 years of completing residency or fellowship and who has already achieved distinction through myriad contributions to the field of Endourology in research and teaching. The only exception to this rule was the presentation of the first award to Dr. Smith in recognition of his establishment of the Endourology Society, his clinical contributions to the field, his training of numerous fellows, and his ongoing support of the society and its Journal throughout the past two decades. The award is given annually. Recipients: 2004 – Arthur D. Smith, M.D. 2005 – Jaime Landman, M.D. 2006 – Maurice Stephan Michel, M.D. 2007 – Manoj Monga, M.D. 2008 – Benjamin R. Lee, M.D. Industry Award – “For Innovations in Endourological Instrumentation” This award is presented by the Endourology Society to individuals in industry and the company they represent who have promoted Endourology worldwide through product development, support of the society’s foreign fellows program, aided the international distribution of the Journal of Endourology, and/or provided grants in aid for the annual World Congress meeting. The Endourology Society is ever cognizant that the strong partnership of industry and the society is very much responsible for the growth and dissemination of Endourology. The award may be given annually. Recipients: 1998 – Bob Quint (ACMI) – Frederick Roemer (Cook) 2001 – John Abele (Boston Scientific) 2002 – Sybill Storz (Karl Storz Endoscopy) 2003 – Connie Padden (Karl Storz Endoscopy) – Anne Marie Crownfield (Karl Storz Endoscopy) – Mary Froelich (ACMI) 2004 – Gerald French (Cook Urological) 2005 – Evan Brasington (Boston Scientific Corp) 2006 – Hans-Joachim Winter (Olympus Corp) 2007 – Marty Emerson (AMS) 2008 – Sandra Tilden (GYRUS ACMI) 25 AWARDS Olympus “Best Paper Award” Olympus Company sponsors every year five prize (each 1.500 USD) for the best presentations in five categories (overall, endourologic, laparoscopy, research, clinical). The Award Committee consists of Chairman: Pearle, Margaret, USA Chiu, Allen, Taiwan Wong, Michael, Singapore Li-Ming Su, USA Keeley, Frank, United Kingdom 26 FLOORPLAN SHERATON MÜNCHEN ARABELLAPARK

Messas, France Faculty: H. van der Poel, The Netherlands Effner I Today, medical professionals who want to learn a new technique have to face a learning curve that may be a high-risk period for the patients and physicians. The interactive video laparoscopic training offers medical professionals a way to practice on real situations before their first cases. The main goal of this unique teaching method (onlinemasterclass.com) is to shorten and to secure the learning period of medical professionals. Through this video simulation, they will have the opportunity to face and to react to difficult situations or complications usually occurring during the learning period. This training is recommended for surgeons who have performed more than 1 and less than 30 laparoscopic radical prostatectomies.
