FUS-PPCS 2026 Convenor Message

We extend a cordial invitation to welcome you all to the beautiful city of Sydney for the conjoint 5th USANZ Biennial Functional Urology Symposium and 20th Pan-Pacific Continence Society (PPCS) Annual Meeting. Australia became the fifth member country of the PPCS in 2016. The PPCS Annual Meeting is held in different member countries each year and in 2026, USANZ will host this prestigious Asia-Pacific meeting in functional and female urology. Joining forces with the USANZ Biennial Functional Symposium, this year’s meeting will prove to be one of the best educational events in functional urology in this part of the world. 

A two and a half day program incorporating two 3-hour workshops as well as a rich scientific program in male and female functional and reconstructive urology, including robotic surgery, will address common issues encountered in daily practice as well as challenges in functional urology and share knowledge with our national and international colleagues. 

This program will include themes such as  transitional and adolescent functional urology, male and female LUTS and incontinence, pelvic floor mesh issues, overactive and underactive bladder, neurourology, pelvic organ prolapse surgery including robotics, novel and minimally-invasive BPH treatment, a surgical masterclass, research sciences, and last but not least, male and female sexual dysfunction. A “Young Generation Forum”, initiated by Professor Han-Chorng Kuo in Taiwan in 2018, will again feature during this meeting, allowing young and keen functional urologists and residents to network and share their practical experiences. 

In addition to the science of this meeting delegates will be able to enjoy Sydney’s beautiful scenery and culture. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney.
