9. Slovenski urološki kongres 2025
Ankaran, 2. – 4. 10. 2025

Spoštovane kolegice in kolegi, cenjeni gostje,

z velikim zadovoljstvom in ponosom vas pozdravljam pred letošnjim slovenskim urološkim kongresom, ki se je uveljavil kot osrednji strokovni dogodek našega združenja. Kongres predstavlja priložnost za izmenjavo znanja, krepitev vezi med kolegi in iskanje inovativnih rešitev za izzive, s katerimi se soočamo na področju urologije.

Letošnja tema kongresa, “Napredek in inovacije v urološki diagnostiki in zdravljenju”, je še posebej pomembna. Hiter tehnološki razvoj, širitev minimalno invazivnih tehnik in personaliziranje zdravljenja prinašajo velike spremembe, ki zahtevajo stalno izpopolnjevanje in prilagajanje. Naši bolniki, ki so vedno v središču našega dela, pričakujejo najvišjo raven oskrbe, kar nam nalaga odgovornost, da sledimo najboljšim praksam in raziskavam.

Program kongresa bo bogat in raznolik, z odličnimi predavanji priznanih domačih in mednarodnih strokovnjakov, interaktivnimi delavnicami ter priložnostmi za izmenjavo mnenj. Prepričan sem, da bo vsak udeleženec našel vsebine, ki ga bodo navdihnile in obogatile njegovo strokovno znanje. Naj bo kongres tudi priložnost za krepitev osebnih stikov, sodelovanja in prijateljskih vezi. Naše povezave v strokovni skupnosti so ključnega pomena za ohranjanje visokih standardov urologije v Sloveniji in za nadaljnje izboljševanje kakovosti zdravstvenih storitev.

Ob tej priložnosti se želim zahvaliti organizacijskemu in strokovnemu odboru, vsem predavateljem, partnerjem in sponzorjem, ki so s svojim trudom, znanjem in podporo omogočili ta dogodek. Naj nas ta kongres navdihne, motivira in opremi z novim znanjem, ki ga bomo lahko prenesli v vsakodnevno klinično prakso. Naj nas vodi želja po izboljšanju zdravja in kakovosti življenja naših bolnikov.

Želim vam uspešen kongres, bogat z znanjem, navdihom in prijetnim druženjem.

S spoštovanjem,
Doc. dr. Simon Hawlina, dr. med, FEBU
Predsednik Združenja urologov Slovenije

Dear colleagues and esteemed guests,

It is with great pleasure and pride that I welcome you to this year’s Slovenian Urological Congress, which has established itself as the central professional event of our association. The congress provides an opportunity to exchange knowledge, strengthen bonds among colleagues, and seek innovative solutions to the challenges we face in the field of urology.

This year’s theme, “Advances and Innovations in Urological Diagnostics and Treatment,” is particularly significant. Rapid technological development, the expansion of minimally invasive techniques, and the personalization of treatment bring about major changes that require continuous improvement and adaptation. Our patients, who are always at the center of our work, expect the highest level of care, which imposes on us the responsibility to follow best practices and research. The congress program will be rich and diverse, with excellent lectures by renowned domestic and international experts, interactive workshops, and opportunities for exchanging opinions. I am confident that every participant will find content that will inspire and enrich their professional knowledge.

Let the congress also be an opportunity to strengthen interpersonal connections, cooperation, and friendly ties. Our connections within the professional community are crucial for maintaining high standards of urology in Slovenia and for further improving the quality of healthcare services. On this occasion, I would like to thank the organizational and professional committee, all lecturers, partners, and sponsors who have made this event possible with their efforts, knowledge, and support.

May this congress inspire, motivate, and equip us with new knowledge that we can transfer into everyday clinical practice. Let us be guided by the desire to improve the health and quality of life of our patients.

I wish you a successful congress, rich in knowledge, inspiration, and pleasant socializing.

Sincerely,
Assist. Prof. Simon Hawlina, MD, PhD, FEBU
President of the Slovenian Urological Association
