Delegates will also explore the digital revolution in continence care, from AI-driven diagnostics and mobile monitoring to personalized treatment plans. EUS will host four hands-on workshops and four expert-led roundtables, covering key urology sub-specialties including Andrology, Urolithiasis, Uro-Oncology, and Urotechnology.

Dr. Yasser Saeedi, President of EUS, added, “ICS-EUS 2025 offers a unique opportunity for clinicians to gain insights, exchange best practices, and connect with both regional and international peers.” Research shows overweight women face a 35% higher risk of urinary incontinence, with obesity nearly doubling the likelihood.
