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 this letter to you with my mind still full of impressions from the ICCS Conference in Kyoto on June 30 to July 3. It was a grand cavalcade of top science, great teaching, friendly network-building and horizon-widening cultural (as well as gastronomical…) experiences that I would not want to miss. Among the moments that stand out most in my memory are the Kelm Hjälmås Memorial Lecture by Piet Hoebeke, the lecture on circadian rhythms by Hitoshi Okamura, and the violin performance at the Gala dinner. I feel sorry for those of you who couldn’t join us, and I am very grateful to Drs Kawauchi, Kaneko, Johnin, Ohtomo and others who – together with the ICCS Board – made the event possible. I am also very happy that it was possible to give the pre-congress Enuresis Summer School, as well as the workshops on urodynamics, ultrasound and urotherapy. More...
