Abstract
The American Urological Association (AUA) meeting has celebrated its 120th edition surrounded by gondolas, canals and warm weather. No, it wasn’t Venice, but The Venetian hotel in fabulous Las Vegas, which hosted top-level scientists, clinicians and healthcare professionals from all urology fields across the world.
Stones featured prominently in the plenary session on day 2. Suction has been presented as the newest and transformative tool in endourology, with the state of the art on this topic discussed by Ben Chew in his lecture “Aspiration Devices—Should We Be Using Them?” Spoiler: the answer is yes. Further exploring endourology, Seth Bechis presented data supporting stent avoidance in patients undergoing uncomplicated ureteroscopy, and Khurshid Ghani reiterated this concept in his state-of-the-art lecture, in which he provided an update on the ongoing SOUL trial, highlighting a strong patient preference for avoiding stents, and expressed his hope for a future in which routine ureteroscopy does not require a stent anymore.
