Dear Friends and Colleagues,


It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 5th International Hypospadias Congress due in June 13-14th, 2007. During the past ten years, several new concepts & techniques have evolved. It is about time to objectively evaluate the current status & techniques in the field of hypospadias. The Workshop includes live surgery, tough panel discussions and oral & poster presentations. This would be of great interest to Pediatric Surgeons, Urologists and Plastic Surgeons interested in the field of hypospadias.

This Workshop coincides with the launch of the second edition of the book " Hypospadias Surgery; An illustrated guide" published by Springer Verlag. New chapters have been included, some chapters have new authors. All the chapters have been updated with recent literature. However, the approach and concept of the book has been maintained with special stress on the quality of detailed illustrations and operative photographs.

The Workshop precedes the Mannheim International Congress. This gives the Pediatric Surgeons a chance to get an updated knowledge in long esophageal gaps and short bowel syndrome.

Mannheim and Heidelberg have a lot to offer. As you know, Heidelberg University is one of the oldest Universities in Europe. It was established in 1368. Kirschner, Röntgen, Wilms and many other pioneers worked in this famous University.

June is a good time of the year to visit Germany, with unforgettable walks through the old city, the historical Heidelberg castle that reminds you of fairy tales, river cruises on the Rhine river, wine tasting in famous wine fields and enjoying the good German food and hospitality.

Looking forward to seeing you all in June in Mannheim-Heidelberg
