Letter from the Editor

Dear Reader,

Five days filled with urology. The 32nd annual EAU congress was, as ever, a large and lively congress, this year in the vibrant metropole of London. From the joint meetings of EAU with Urology Associations from all over the world on the 24th of March to the congress highlights of the souvenir session on the 28th of March: attendees could choose from a wide array of covered urological themes brought by the experts from Europe and even from around the globe.

Several plenary sessions gave us a nice overview of the current state in that specific domain of urology while others gave us more breaking news. The numerous video sessions were an opportunity for urologists to refresh technical points or to witness new techniques. Poster sessions gave more interactive opportunities between the presenters and the audience.

The wide spectre of the congress is reflected in this congress report issue of Medicom. We have selected several interesting topics, covering the majority of urological subspecialties. We hope the readers can refresh their ideas or get new insights in the covered topics. Attendees can refresh the messages given in the respective sessions, non-attendees can get a taste of EAU@London 2017.

Enjoy the congress report!

 

Kind regards,

Prof. dr. Frank Van der Aa
