Welcome!

The International Society of Pelviperineology Congress

Bucharest, 04-06 October 2018

Dear colleagues!

We are pleased to invite you to the International Society of Pelviperineology Congress, which will be held in 2018 in Bucharest, between the 4th and the 6th of October.

This year’s edition of the Congress will reunite prominent professionals in the field of pelviperineology, joining specialties such as obstetrics-gynecology, urology, urogynecology, colorectal surgery. Interesting topics will be debated during the sessions, with multidisciplinary round-table sessions with interactive participation from the audience.

Bucharest is situated between the Carpathian Mountains and the Danube, also known as the City of Joy. In the period between the two World Wars, the city has thrived, under the careful watch of the Monarchy, the intellectual elite and the French architects, becoming known as “The Small Paris” or “The Paris of the East”. The Old Town is one of the most animated and lively places in Bucharest. Near the center of the city there is an area with small streets and a big variety of interwar buildings where you can find more than 200 pubs, clubs and terraces.

In this part of the city one can find, among others, the National Bank (the first bank ever built in Romania), The Royal Court of Vlad Dracul (Dracula), an old famous street called Lipscani and many buildings that imitate the French style from the beginning of the 20th century. There are also many restaurants, some of them with a clear theme, with traditional food and architecture, and others with elements that bring back to life the interwar atmosphere. The Old Town symbolizes quite well the mixture of the Romanian Culture, the great mosaic that was created here. The Latin spirit, the oriental (Ottoman Empire) influences and some elements from Western Europe (French architecture, a little bit of Italian fashion style, international music) are quite visible.

We invite you to enhance your surgical and clinical knowledge with a diversified scientific program and a line up of speakers who are not only opinion leaders but also willing to teach.

We look forward to seeing you in Bucharest!
