Letter from the Editor

Dear Reader,

The 34^th annual EAU congress from 15 to 19 March 2019 has gathered thousands of urologists from all over the world in Barcelona. As always, the large conference was filled with state of the art lectures, lively discussion, novel paradigms and practical sessions.

The huge amount of information produced at the meeting is a challenge to digest, even for those who attended the meeting. For this reason, we have written a congress report, covering a wide variety of topics. This report will guide you to some of the key messages delivered @EAU 2019 in Barcelona.

We hope this congress report issue of Medicom will help you to further increase your knowledge of urology and will help you to scientifically underbuilt your daily clinical practice.

Enjoy the congress report!

Kind regards,

Frank Van der Aa
