Photodynamic diagnostic (PDD) & bipolar en bloc resection (ERBT) in Frankfurt
Educator / speaker:
The urology department at the St. Katharinen Hospital in Frankfurt am Main is one of the largest in the Rhine-Main area. The hospital has historically focused on surgical oncology in particular. One of the most common diagnoses is tumors of the urinary bladder. Dr. Steffen Relecker, Chief Physician for urology, has worked intensively in the area of bladder malignomas for over 20 years. Many years of experience from countless endoscopic bladder procedures and his expertise in fluorescence endoscopy (PDD) with Hexvix©, narrow-band imaging (NBI) and laser, monopolar, and bipolar en bloc resection in particular make Dr. Relecker a renowned expert in this field.
