ESU Course 01: Paediatric urology for the adult urologist: A practical update
Chair: J.M. Nijman, Groningen (NL)
Aims and objectives: During this course an update is provided on common problems of the genito-urinary tract in children by means of state-of-the-art lectures, cases and interactive participation. Also the interaction between paediatric urologist, adult urologist, gynaecologist and paediatrician will be discussed. Corrections of congenital malformations of the urogenital tract have major implication for the quality of life, but also for long-term follow-up, future interventions and treatment of complications. Over the past few years our ideas about treatment of reflux and obstructive uropathy have changed; many so-called dogmas had to be revised. During this 3 hour course we will try to give an overview of the latest developments in the field of paediatric urology, focussing on topics of interest to the general urologist. The course is of particular interest to general urologists and those in training. Participants are encouraged to participate in the course as much as possible and there will be ample time for discussion and presentation of cases.
