This October 2-5, 2024, Dr. Andrew Kirsch, a pediatric urologist at Georgia Urology, will be presenting at the XXIX Congreso de la Sociedad Iberoamericana de Urología Pediátrica (SIUP) in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. As Georgia Urology’s medical director, he is known worldwide for his expertise in pediatric urology. He will share his knowledge through several presentations on the latest advancements in the field, but here’s a glimpse of what he’ll be discussing:

Soluu Bedwetting Mitigation Device Development

Dr. Kirsch will reveal the innovative Soluu Bedwetting Mitigation Device, developed by his company, Global Continence Inc. This breakthrough device aims to end bedwetting, significantly enhancing the lives of children dealing with enuresis (urinary incontinence). Attendees will get an in-depth look at the technology behind the device, its clinical trials, and its profound impact on patient care.

Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) in Pediatric Urology

Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) is revolutionizing imaging in pediatric urology. Dr. Kirsch will explain how this non-invasive technology provides detailed images, helping in the accurate diagnosis and treatment planning of complex urological conditions in children.

Surgical Management of VUR: Open, Robotic, Endoscopic

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common pediatric urological issue. Dr. Kirsch will compare different surgical approaches—open, robotic, and endoscopic—highlighting the pros and cons of each method. This comprehensive analysis will guide practitioners in choosing the best surgical options for their patients.

VUR Index: Assessing Risk and Resolution of VUR

The VUR Index, a new risk assessment tool developed with Dr. Kirsch’s expertise, will be showcased. This index helps clinicians evaluate the risk and potential resolution of VUR in pediatric patients, enabling more informed decisions about the most appropriate interventions.

Point–Counterpoint: Varicocele in the Teenager; Pediatric Urologist Point of View

As part of a lively point-counterpoint session, Dr. Kirsch will present the pediatric urologist’s perspective on managing varicocele in teenagers. He will provide a balanced view on this controversial topic by discussing the indications for intervention, the importance of timing, and the potential benefits and risks.

Dr. Kirsch’s sessions at the SIUP are highly anticipated. His insights promise to contribute significantly to pediatric urology, sparking discussions and sharing knowledge that will enhance the care of young patients.
