Welcome from the founder
Robotic surgery is reshaping urology, and Egypt has the surgeons, the centres and the ambition to lead this change in the region. We founded the Egyptian Society for Robotic Surgery to give this community a professional home: training to recognised standards, a national registry so that we learn from every case, and one meeting place for surgeons, centres and industry. I invite every urologist who shares this goal to join us.
Board of directors
The founding board brings together senior surgeons from Cairo University and the National Cancer Institute.
