Welcome to GURO – Grazer Uro Surgical Days
GURO combines semi-live surgery with direct expert exchange, providing practical insights into contemporary urological surgery and current state of the art treatment. International experts share their surgical strategies, tips & tricks, and approaches to challenging situations, complemented by interactive discussions and scientific evidence.
The first GUROS will take place in Graz on 17–18 June 2027, focusing on two key areas of modern prostate surgery: benign prostatic enlargement and prostate cancer.
We look forward to welcoming you to Graz and building GURO into a vibrant annual platform for surgical exchange, innovation and wholistic education.
