AAEU Abstracts

Dear Reader,

With this special section we present to you the abstracts from the 23rd meeting of the Association of Academic European Urologists (AAEU). The meeting took place in Copenhagen Denmark in December 2025. The AAEU is the association of leading academic urologists from Europe, dedicated to research of all aspects of disorders of the urogenital tract. The objectives of the AAEU are to promote the role, the position and the activities of academic urology in Europe. The AAEU tries to achieve this by:

  • Promoting clinical and fundamental scientific urological programs and achievements in academic urological departments;
  • Providing a forum for presentation and discussion of academic achievements in the field of urology and related areas;
  • Communicating these various goals via the annual meeting, assigned journals and communication papers

Every year a meeting is organized where members and guests present their own new and original research in the broad field of urology. The invited guests and the AAEU members discuss the content of each presentation in a plenary setting. This implies that also those urologists that perhaps are not the expert in the field of the presented topics, contribute to this discussion from their own perspective. This results in lively, high quality discussions in which all aspects of the tackled topics are touched upon and highlighted. As such this is an integrative approach of a urological problem that gives direction for future consecutive research and clinical excellence. This integrated approach is highly appreciated by all participants.

The AAEU tries to balance the annual meeting with respect to all kinds of urological subspecialties and topics, the topographic background of the participants as well as  gender and color. In Copenhagen again many various topics were discussed.

In total 44 presentations could be appreciated out of 64 submitted abstracts. Of these 31 authors gave permission to publish their abstract in this issue of European Urology Open Science, which we present here. Of the presented abstracts, 21 were about an oncological topic, 1 dealt with urolithiasis, 2 on andrology and 6 on functional urology. Fistulae and UTI were dealt with in respectively 3 and 1 presentation and for the first time Artificial Intelligence was presented in three lectures.

Dear readers, with this supplement we offer you the insight in the dynamics of AAEU and we hope that we may welcome you one day as one of our guests.
