It is with great sadness that Basrah Journal of Surgery notes the passing of Dr. Noor Buchholz, longtime member of the Editorial Board and a valued contributor to the Société Internationale d’Urologie (SIU). His passing is a significant loss to the global urology community and to Basrah Journal of Surgery’s readership.
