Dear Friends and Colleagues;
On behalf of the scientific and organizing committee of Pan Arab
Continence Society and the educational committee of the ICS, it is our
pleasure to invite you for the 11th PACS conference which will be held in
Istanbul from February 27th, to March 1st, 2015 in collaboration with ICS.
This year is very special because of the strong collaboration with
the Turkish Continence and Urogynecology Societies with a great
mixture of urological and gynaecological experiences.
We also welcome our guest speakers form the EAU, AUA, SIU
and the CAU to enrich the programme with high quality lectures in the
field of voiding dysfunction.
We encourage receiving abstracts related to the following topics:
Voiding Dysfunction, Female Incontinence, Male Incontinence, BPH,
Prostate Cancer, LUTS, Erectile Dysfunction, Voiding Dysfunction in
Children. The PACS also decided to award the best winner abstract a
scholarship fund.
Very special packages were designed for you to make it a real good
chance to attend such a valuable meeting. So we encourage our young
colleagues to take the early catch of the limited spaces.
We hope that you will enjoy your stay both scientifically and
socially.
