It was our great pleasure to have participated in the EAU-JUA International Academic Exchange Programme from March 19 to 28, 2017. Our five-day visit to the two institutions in London helped deepen our clinical experience as well as broaden our perspectives. We also enjoyed the company of fellow urologists from UK and Taiwan.
During our visit to the University College London (UCL) (March 19 to 21) Prof. John Kelly, his principle investigators and fellows gave us special lectures on their clinical and research work in oncology, andrology, male urethral and female reconstruction, adolescent urology and endourology. The lecture on efficacy of chemohyperthermia by Prof. John Kelly provided us a unique and new direction. We observed UCL’s excellent surgical procedures, including robotics and stone surgeries, which inspired us to innovate and improve on our original practice.

EAU-JUA Academic Exchange ProgrammeFellows experience warm welcome from European hosts
We also had a great time at the London Eye and had an excellent dinner with Mr. Dan Wood and his colleagues. We also thank Mr. Wei Shen Tan for his kind hospitality throughout our visit at UCL. Again, we were truly inspired by UCL’s high level of clinical and basic research.
Visit at Guy’s HospitalWe visited Guy’s hospital from March 22 to 23. Prior to this visit, we enjoyed an excellent dinner and pool game with Mr. O’Brien, Mr. Rick Popert and Mrs. Claire Taylor at AMC (Auto Mobile Club). Rick was an excellent pool game player and I won a booby prize. We had a clinical conference, stone seminar and functional urology case conference at Guy’s Hospital on March 22. I was impressed by the presentation on ureterolysis. We also closely observed several procedures, including robotic surgery and ureterolysis.
We visited the Gordon Museum of Pathology, renowned for many human original specimens including lymph nodes collected by Thomas Hodgkin to describe
Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Mr. O’Brien also brought us to Borough Market, a bustling place full of fresh foods and drinks. And the fellows of Guy’s Hospital took us to the oldest pub in London and an excellent Indian restaurant. Thank you all for your hospitality!(By Yukiko Kanno)
EAU17 Congress We participated in the exciting 32nd Annual EAU Congress (EAU17). This scientific congress presented many plenary sessions, thematic sessions, and poster sessions, and were educational and very helpful for our daily medical practice and future research. I also had the opportunity to present in the poster session. I discussed with doctors from many countries and learned various approaches in treatment and research. Moreover, I was very fortunate to have my poster selected as the Best Poster. This is indeed an honour for me and my colleagues.
We truly appreciate the opportunity to attend the EAU International Friendship Dinner at the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel. We were impressed by the venue and atmosphere. It was a wonderful moment when we received from EAU Secretary General Professor Chris Chapple the citation plaques, which confirmed our participation in the academic exchange programme. We will certainly remember that memorable evening.
During this academic exchange, we met many colleagues who were willing to provide us with invaluable information and technical expertise. The experiences we had are irreplaceable and we are extremely grateful for the warm welcome we experienced. Finally, we greatly appreciate the EAU and JUA staff members who helped plan and carry out the EAU-JUA Academic Exchange Programme.(By Shinichi Yamashita)
