We will have the real privilege to enjoy a talk from one of the giants in urology - Prof Philip Hanno. He will take us through a journey in time on the “History of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome - from 1917 to the present”.
Prof Hanno will take us through the various stages over the past hundred years when the complex and elusive disease has been varyingly described and categorised, and how the diagnostic criteria have changed. The talk promises to remind and update us on the controversies and current understanding in this complex field of pelvic pain.
Our dynamic Steering Goup members - Tatiana Semedo from Portugal and Kazibe Koyuncu from Turkey will jointly co-host the session.
