Best Paper in Robotic Surgery Published in European Urology
The Vattikuti Foundation sponsors an award for the best paper in robotic surgery published in the European Journal of Urology, one of the highest impact journal in the specialty of Urology. The award is presented each year at the European Association of Urology (EAU) Annual meeting in a formal ceremony recognizing the winner and the Vattikuti Foundation. The winners are granted a short Fellowship at one of the Vattikuti Foundation Robotic units throughout the world.
