FERNANDO GÓMEZ-SANCHA · UROLOGIST

Two interviews.
One surgical journey.

From GreenLight to en-bloc HoLEP. From learning beside great surgeons to teaching colleagues around the world. Two candid conversations about technique, judgement and the responsibility to keep learning.

“When I had to operate on my brother, I chose HoLEP over GreenLEP.”

A personal decision that changed the procedure I offered every patient.

01

Technique must evolve

Mastery is not loyalty to a tool. It is the willingness to change when a safer, more reproducible approach becomes clear.

02

Teaching is a laboratory

Explaining surgery to others exposes every weak assumption. Training colleagues became one of the most powerful ways to refine the operation.

03

Experience should create humility

Thousands of procedures do not end learning. They make the small details—and their consequences—more visible.
