BN189: After the tremendous success of ICE 2026 in Valencia, mark your calendars for 2027!
We’re not going too far from Valencia… LISBON, PORTUGAL, will be the next destination for ICE 2027!
OCTOBER 7-8-9, 2027!
See you all there! 😊🇵🇹
Today's journal club with residents from Argentina 🇦🇷 and Colombia 🇨🇴
We discussed our paper on costs in ureteroscopy, a 40-country study: @ameliapietr1
Equipment cost per procedure can vary up to 4x depending on where you operate.
The question isn't how much the device costs to buy. It's how much each procedure really costs.
Thank you Mariela Montanile for the invitation. Hoping for many more spaces to share experiences between our countries 🤝

Vote for LATAM TEAM 👏🇦🇷🇨🇴🏆
Latam Team 😉🇦🇷🇨🇴 ! @luisrico89
LATAM is bringing more than great endourology to #ICE26 @Uroweb
We’re bringing passion, teamwork… and perhaps a little bit of competitive spirit. 😉
Messi has shown the world how LATAM competes on the football field. Shakira has shown us how to move. 💃
Now it’s our turn to show what LATAM Endourology can do. 🏆
We’re competing in the “Best Endourologist 2026 – Clash of the Titans”, and your vote can make the difference.
If you’re with LATAM, vote for the LATAM Team! @luisrico89

🌍 The real cost of flexible ureteroscopy: 40 countries, one massive gap
An international collaboration (@eau_yuo –EAU Endourology) analyzed the cost of single-use devices in ureteroscopy across 40 countries.
Key findings:
• Single-use flexible ureteroscope (#FURS) costs vary up to 4x across countries (€310–1638)
• Access sheaths #FANS : €36–400
• Combined per-procedure cost: up to €1881
💡 But there's a solution: centers adopting validated reuse strategies cut per-procedure costs nearly in half #FURS: €676→€425 · #FANS: €180→€130)
Why it matters: this gap isn't just economic — it's about equity in healthcare access. Safe reuse can be key to sustainability without compromising quality.
Proud to have co-authored these two studies alongside colleagues from all 5 continents.

🌍💰 What does modern #Ureteroscopy actually cost around the world?
Two new 40-country @Uroweb @EAUYAUrology collaborations explore the economics of single-use #FURS + #FANS—and the findings are striking.

A single-use ureteroscope can cost 4x more depending on which country you're in — even within Europe.
💰 URS: €310–1638
💰 FANS: €36–400
💰 Combined: up to €1881/procedure
40 countries analyzed. Why it matters: unequal costs = unequal access to modern endourology care. We need evidence-based procurement policies.
