From African hands to an African heart: my KARL STORZ endourology experience at Groote Schuur Hospital/University of Cape Town, South Africa

Abstract

KARL STORZ Endoskope-Germany offers a one-year fellowship in endourology at the Division of Urology, Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) and the University of Cape Town (UCT) to a sub-Saharan (non-South African) urologist nearing the end of their basic training with a focus on endourology, minimally invasive and laparoscopic oncology. The trainee actively participates in all aspects of clinical care and has an opportunity to work at the purpose-built KARL STORZ-equipped surgical skills training centre at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. Other opportunities include involvement in departmental and collaborative research.
