General information about the BAUS Section of Endourology
Endourology: the use of endourological techniques to treat urinary tract disease.
This primarily involves the treatment of urinary tract stone disease but also includes the endourological treatment of other benign diseases of the upper urinary tract.
The Section of Endourology was formed in 2002; it developed from the British Society for Endourology, which was a separate organisation independent of BAUS. The Section aims to improve standards and quality of practice within the sub-specialty by promoting training, research and development.
In 2009 the Section set up a Patient Advisory Group.
The Section usually organises one scientific meeting each year and a series of training courses. Full details of the courses are available on the section calendar. The Section's 2010 meeting was held in April in Aberdeen and the 2011 meeting will be held in Birmingham.
The Section's executive committee is responsible for the organisation, financial administration and running of the Section.
