The month of March has been a productive period in our department where in we were given the opportunity to represent our department to the yearly event, UROFAIR, held at Suntec city, Singapore last March 6-8. Apart from the interesting lectures that we've attended of which the theme was " Changing Paradigms In Urology ", we had the opportunity of showcasing our department's achievements for the past year. To our knowledge , the first ever Hybrid N.O.T.E.S. transvaginal nephrectomy in our country was successfully done in our institution and was chosen as the official entry to the yearly video presentation. Despite the technological limitations, such as the lack of articulating instrument and deflectable camera it was obvious that the judges were most impressed by the resourcefulness and technical expertise of our training officer , Dr. Enrique Lorenzo and the residents involved. This milestone was capped by Dr. Paul Nimrod Firaza's poster presentation entitled "Primary small lymphocytic type B cell lymphoma of the testis: a case report." This is the first reported case of such rare type of Primary Testicular Lymphoma in literature using MEDLINE search.
