During this meeting Dr. Perito was Faculty for two resident/fellow labs sponsored by Coloplast and held at the Boston BioSkills LAB and the Boston Convention Center.  These labs combined comprised 8 rotations where residents and fellows got hands on experience practicing the “Minimally Invasive Penile Implant Technique”.  These labs were followed up with Q&A sessions which allowed attendees additional time to ask specific questions about various aspects of the procedure.
