Welcome to the ICCS Website

The fundamental goal of the ICCS is to improve the quality of life and the life expectancy for all growing individuals with deficient bladder function, expressed as problems of storage and evacuation of urine. ICCS intends to approach this goal by increasing knowledge in all aspects of this problem area.

President's Message

Dear ICCS member

I write to you sitting, quite bored, in Frankfurt airport. I am on my way home from the ICCS course in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I am already longing to be back in the land of Tango, Malbec, soccer and psychoanalysis. Thanks to the hard efforts of, among others, local organiser dr Cristian Sager, Board member Dr Eliane Fonseca and the Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría, the course was a huge success. The room was always full, the discussions were lively and the atmosphere was friendly. We think that we managed to spread the word and have a positive impact on children in all of southern South America.
