ERN-ITHACA Projects

Workshop on Fetal and Postnatal multidisciplinary management in RD (MMC and LUTO) | Registration open

The primary objective of this workshop is to train healthcare providers from different ERNs involved in the clinical research on urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) and Myelomeningocele (MMC).
This workshop is scheduled over 2 days starting late afternoon on the day of arrival. A brief introduction will be provided by the organizers followed by the first common session in order to prepare the participants to the upcoming discussions (prenatal diagnosis, foetal treatment, post-operative monitoring of foetuses and mother, post-natal nephrological and urological management). The most relevant issues related to two pathologies (MMC and PUV) will be thoroughly discussed during the second day of the WK, e.g. foetal surgical procedures, specific postnatal surgery requirements and follow up.
During the morning session on the third day the activities will be divided. Two working sub-groups will discuss practical cases and will work on the research projects in order to define new hypotheses as well as to critically evaluate the clinical trials.

Date: June 4-6
Place: Krakow, Poland
Fees: No fees; participants will receive financial support from the EJP-RD.
Registration: HERE before April 16; 2023
