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
Dear ICCS member

Your society is slowly emerging from the pandemic. We are looking forward to a very active end of 2021 and hopefully more or less business as usual next year. We acknowledge that the the pandemic is yet not over – especially in underpriviliged parts of the world – and that international travel may, for several reasons, never be what it was pre-2020. But we do believe in meetings in real life: the networking, brainstorming and exchange of ideas that happen outside the lecture halls during congresses and courses can never fully be ackomplished online. Thus, I am certainly going to Aarhus this (northern hemisphere) fall.

What will this course cover ?

This 2 day course will start by covering normal childhood bladder and bowel anatomy and function along with an outline of Bladder Bowel dysfunction (BBD). The bulk of the course will cover urodynamic assessment of BBD both with non-invasive strategies such as Diaries, Uroflowmetry (together with use of EMG) and ultrasound scanning and invasive urodynamics to include videourodynamics and ambulatory urodynamics. Practical hands-on demonstration along with work-shop scenarios will be provided along with case studies.

Who is suitable for this course ?

Health professionals working in the field of Childhood BBD including doctors, nurses or therapists, who would like to further their practice or expertise, or indeed, for those who are starting out in this work and would like a course focusing on these aspects. Our aim is that the attendee will leave the course with a better understanding of Childhood BBD along with the skills to assess BBD using urodynamics, and treatment including Biofeedback and superficial neuromodulation in the form of TENS. Certificates of attendance will be provided. The course is approved by the International Children’s Continence Society and United Kingdom Continence Society and is sponsored by Laborie.
