Meet the pioneers of urology!

Every few years, the EAU History Office prepares a full-day programme devoted to the history of our field. In 2016, the 6th International Congress on the History of Urology will be held on 11 March, in conjunction with the 31st Annual EAU Congress in Munich. This being an International Congress, expert speakers were attracted from all across the world, including Asia, North and South America and Africa.

 The participation of retired EAU Secretary Generals Prof. Frans Debruyne (Honorary President and speaker) and Prof. Per-Anders Abrahamsson (moderating the session on Politics and Urology) also contribute to the Congress’s stature. Expect a full day of in-depth lectures about the very roots of urology, the important breakthroughs in technique and technology, and the pioneers of the field- some of whom will be speaking on their own experiences!

 Topics include:

  •  Urology at the time of the pharaohs
  •  Meredith Campbell and the story behind ‘Campbell’s Urology’
  •  Urological complications that changed world history
  •  When sex came to Germany
  •  Prof. Chaussy on ESWL: A shocking change in urology
  •  …and much more!
