Welcome Message

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As the co-chairs of the upcoming 34th Congress of the European Society for Paediatric Urology (ESPU), it is our great pleasure to extend our warmest welcome to each and every one of you. From April 17th to 20th 2024, we will gather in the captivating city of Naples, Italy, to share knowledge, experiences, and innovations in the field of paediatric urology.

Ciro Esposito, greeting from the vibrant city of Naples, and Marco Castagnetti, representing the historical city of Rome, are honored to serve as your hosts for this momentous event. Our collaboration and dedication to the advancement of paediatric urology have led us to curate a congress program that promises not only an enriching academic experience but also an opportunity to explore the unique attributes of Naples.

Naples, with its rich history dating back to ancient times, stands as a living testament to the fusion of diverse cultures and traditions. Its picturesque landscapes, world-renowned cuisine, and warm hospitality will undoubtedly enhance your congress experience. Beyond the academic sessions and discussions, we encourage you to immerse yourselves in the local culture, discover the hidden treasures of the city, and indulge in its culinary delights.

The congress will feature a comprehensive scientific program; including keynote lectures, panels and interactive workshops as usual. This platform will foster the exchange of groundbreaking research, innovative techniques, and clinical best practices, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of patient care and outcomes.

Before the Congress, on Monday April 15 and Tuesday April 16, we will organise an advanced MIS and Robotic course with over 10 hours of MIS practice on animal model, robotic simulation and docking and the dry lab with pelvic trainers and reflux injection models for the beginners. All the related info will be available on the website before the registration.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the participants, reviewers, moderators, lecturers and sponsors who will contribute to making this congress a reality. Your presence and engagement will undoubtedly make this event a resounding success, enriching the legacy of ESPU.

On behalf of the organising committee, we look forward to welcoming you to the historic city of Naples, where academic excellence meets cultural exploration. Let us come together to learn, to share, and to inspire one another, leaving with a renewed commitment to advancing paediatric urology for the benefit of our young patients.

See you in Naples!
