Aims and objectives:
The European Society of Female and Functional Urology has been formed as a consequence of the merging of the European Society of Female Urology and the European Society of Neurourology. The aim of this meeting is to provide a critical update on new developments in the field of female and functional urology. Well known experts in the field will cover the most controversial and hot topics from basic science to practical clinical aspects of this exciting field of urology. Debate and interactive discussion will be encouraged.
