Over the years, the field of Urology has undergone an enormous expansion in clinical and basic data, as well as in field-related technology. Whilst the problem of urological diseases has reached epidemiological dimensions, treatment possibilities have been sought for in different directions. This development has created a need to debate the many controversial issues and reach clinical conclusions.
 
The 1st World Congress on Controversies in Urology (CURy) is meant to function as an exclusive forum for international experts to share and compare experiences, in order to outline the right treatment for patients. A congress focusing on controversies is a new concept. It is designed primarily to enable an effective debate about unresolved issues, resulting in agreed-upon answers, supported by evidence-based medicine and expert opinion.
 
Participants will have the advantage of discussing and debating these unresolved issues with leading world experts. The Congress aims at reaching the best possible answers for the moment, providing the clinician with reliable, up-to-date scientific solutions, based on the best existing evidence.
 
We invite you to take part in the 1st World Congress on Controversies in Urology (CURy), which is intended as the first of many future congresses.We look forward to an exciting scientific event in the beautiful city of Barcelona.
