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
These are still turbulent times, but your Society promises to stay stable like the Polar star, even though several meetings have been cancelled or postponed. As you can read below we are still active and will continue to promote science, healthcare, tolerance and the free diffusion of knowledge – all in the service of children with lower urinary tract problems.

THE ICCS BOARD VACANCIES
As I have previously communicated to all ICCS members we have four upcoming Board vacancies to fill before the end of this year. Dr Kostas Kamperis has finished his first mandate period and drs Eliane Fonseca, Anne Wright and Ann Raes have finished their second mandate period. According to the wishes of the members the nomination and election process is managed electronically, since (unsurprisingly) there will be no physical General Assembly this year.......

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.

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.
