LIVE SURGERIES, INVITED LECTURES & VISITING PROFESSORSHIPS

Dr. Abaza is frequently invited to serve as course faculty at educational courses on robotic surgery, and has organized and led many such courses himself.  He has been invited to give lectures about robotic surgery around the World and has performed live robotic surgical demonstrations for the most prominent conferences in the fields of urology and robotic surgery. He has been invited to serve as a visiting professor for academic Urology departments. Dr. Abaza also has welcomed visiting surgeons from around the World to learn from his techniques by observing surgeries in the operating room. See below for more details.
