- W2117413249 abstract "The Société Internationale d'Urologie (SIU)-sponsored scholarship was introduced to me by my mentor, Professor Hyacinth N. Mbibu. He insisted that he would only allow me to apply for the SIU training scholarship after I had obtained a Fellowship of the West African College of Surgeons—the reason for this, I later came to appreciate in my practice. I was very fortunate and will remain grateful to have been one of the beneficiaries of the training program. I underwent my training at the prestigious Urology and Nephrology Centre, Mansoura, Egypt, under the supervision of several professors of repute, too numerous to mention. I arrived in Mansoura on a Thursday (it happened to be a weekend) in November 2008, and I was impressively received by “Captain” Hassan, who quickly arranged for my accommodation and made me very comfortable. I began my training in earnest after I reported to Professor Ahmed Shokeir, the Vice-Director of the center. I quickly made many friends among the resident doctors and staff, who contributed to making my stay in Mansoura memorable. Several other scholars from different parts of the world came for training during my stay, and this gave me a unique opportunity to interact with colleagues from other parts of the world—the relationships have been rewarding ever since. The only regret I had was not being able to stay >6 months, because the exposure I had in all aspects of urologic disease management was unquantifiable. I was able to observe and later participate fully in renal transplantation procedures and several reconstructive urologic procedures, especially pediatric urology. I appreciated that there was more to managing a young child with posterior urethral valve than ablating the valve and observing the urinary stream, which was what I am used to back home. Dr. Bassem Wadie and his team thrilled me with their urodynamic diagnosis of high voiding pressure in many of these children and the implications of its potentially damaging effect on the kidney. Many of the children were given anticholinergics and some underwent augmentation cystoplasty. I had significant exposure to the management of female voiding dysfunction and urodynamics with Dr. Wadie and his team. I participated actively in several procedures for urinary incontinence, which became quite handy back home in the management of postprostatectomy incontinence. The exposure I had in uro-oncology complemented my limited experience before my SIU training, and this has assisted me in my subsequent practice by boosting my confidence and improving my surgical skill. Dr. Osama (pediatric urologist) and Dr. Ahmed El-Nahas (endourologist/urolaparoscopist) were very friendly and took me through the basics of urolaparoscopic surgery and many aspects of laparoscopic nephrectomy in the animal laboratory. These experiences were complemented by attending procedures on patients performed by Professor Shoma and his team. I also took the opportunity to attend an international endourology and 2 international urolaparoscopic training courses at the center. In addition, I spent some useful time in the radiology department with Dr. Tarek Abdel Fattah going through computed tomography films for the staging of bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma, transurethral ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, and percutaneous embolization of advanced renal tumors before surgery and for uncontrollable hematuria after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. In conclusion, this training program of the SIU is laudable and is without doubt achieving its objectives. I have benefited immensely from this program, and I have introduced it to some of my juniors who have also won the scholarship. Unfortunately, many of the modern urologic procedures and techniques that I had the opportunity to be trained in are still out of reach for many of the sub-Saharan African countries and communities, where the largest proportion of our population live. The availability of these modern facilities will go a long way toward making the practice of urology rewarding to all concerned—the patients, as well as the practitioners. Abbreviated CV. Dr. Abdulwahab Akanbi Ajape was born in October 1970 in a town in Ondo State, Nigeria. He attended Victory College Ikare, where he obtained his secondary school certificate in 1986. He proceeded to Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria for his Advanced Level certificate and was admitted to the Faculty of Medicine of the same university in 1988, where he obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (M.B., B.S.) in 1995. He completed his internship training with the Lagos State Health Management Board and worked as a medical officer with the Sokoto State Government, Nigeria before joining the postgraduate training program of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital in May 2000. He also received a part of his postgraduate training at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching hospital and the Hopital Generale de Grand, Yoff, Dakar, Senegal. His special interest is in voiding dysfunction and urodynamics. He is happily married and has 3 children." @default.
