On 22 and 23 October 2026, Jessa Hospital in Hasselt, Belgium, hosted the international course “Prosthetic and Reconstructive Urology Update: Hasselt Experience”, a scientific meeting focused on the latest advances and current challenges in prosthetic and reconstructive urology.
The event, led by Professor Koenraad van Renterghem, brought together international specialists to exchange clinical experiences, knowledge and advanced surgical techniques for the treatment of urological and andrological conditions.
Among the invited experts was Dr. Josep Torremade, Medical Director of Andrología Barcelona, who participated as a speaker in a session dedicated to penile implant surgery, contributing his experience in this specialised field of andrology.
Optimising Outcomes in Penile Implant Surgery
On Thursday, 22 October, Dr. Josep Torremade delivered a presentation entitled “Optimizing penile length and girth”, as part of a session focusing on penile prosthesis implantation surgery.
His presentation addressed an important aspect of prosthetic surgery: optimising anatomical outcomes during penile prosthesis implantation.
Penile implant surgery is a therapeutic option for selected patients with erectile dysfunction who do not respond satisfactorily to other treatments.
In these procedures, careful surgical planning, appropriate implant selection and individual patient assessment are essential to achieving satisfactory functional outcomes.
Preserving and optimising penile length and girth are important considerations in prosthetic surgery, both in terms of functional outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Dr. Torremade’s participation provided an opportunity to share specialised knowledge on this topic within an international scientific setting.
An International Meeting on Advances in Reconstructive Urology
The course brought together healthcare professionals from several European countries and featured a scientific programme covering key areas of prosthetic and reconstructive urology.
Throughout the two-day event, specialists discussed topics including male urinary incontinence, urethral reconstruction, penile prosthesis implantation techniques and the surgical management of Peyronie’s disease.
The programme also explored the challenges associated with prosthetic surgery in complex patients, including cases involving fibrosis, implant-related infections and genital reconstructive procedures.
Scientific meetings of this kind provide valuable opportunities to exchange experiences, explore different surgical approaches and strengthen collaboration among international specialists.
