"... an international gathering to inform, challenge & inspire ..."

The Andrology and Genitourethral Surgery (AGUS) section is set to deliver an exciting and thought-provoking programme at BAUS 2025, bringing together leading voices from both the UK and beyond. This year, we are shining a spotlight on international expertise, welcoming esteemed colleagues from across the globe to share their insights, challenge conventional thinking, and push the boundaries of our practice.

Monday 16 June – Penile Cancer: What You Need to Know

We kick off our sessions with Penile Cancer – Let Us Update You, covering everything from HPV vaccination to oncological advances, reconstructive surgery, and the all-important quality of life post-treatment. With expert insights from Asif Muneer, Amit Bahl, Nim Christopher, and Sylvia Yan, this session is not to be missed for those looking to stay ahead of the curve in genital oncology.

Tuesday 17 June – Debunking Myths in Andrology

Our first afternoon session, Andrology – Not Everything is as it Seems, and Not Everything that Seems is, challenges long-standing assumptions about Peyronie’s disease, erectile dysfunction, and testosterone replacement therapy. We are thrilled to welcome Sherita King (USA) and Helen Bernie (USA), who will bring an international perspective to these hot topics, alongside leading UK expert Nick Watkin. Later that day, Let’s Set the Record Straight will tackle some of the most misunderstood areas in andrology, from vasectomy to augmentation surgery. This session, co-chaired by Helen Bernie (USA) and Tet Yap (London), will feature a mix of UK-based and international specialists to deliver a wellrounded debate.

Wednesday 18 June – Horizon Scanning & Controversies in Andrology

Our Horizon Scanning session promises to be a highlight of the week, with global experts exploring the future of andrology and reconstructive urology. Helen Bernie (USA) returns with insights on fertility preservation, while Maarten Albersen (Belgium) will present the latest updates in penile cancer research. We will also hear from Rowland Rees, Louise Olson, and Susan Wong, who will discuss the cutting-edge advancements in shockwave therapy, urethral reconstruction, and Peyronie’s disease treatment. To round off the AGUS programme, Controversies in Andrology, or Are They? invites the audience to weigh in on some of the most debated topics in genitourethral surgery. From foreskin preservation to post-prostatectomy rehabilitation, this interactive session, featuring Sherita King (USA) alongside leading UK voices, will undoubtedly provoke discussion and challenge perspectives.

The AGUS section at BAUS 2025 is designed to inform, challenge, and inspire, and this year we are particularly proud to host a strong international presence, with experts from the United States, Belgium, and Ireland joining our UK faculty. Their global perspectives will enhance discussions, foster crossborder collaboration, and ensure we remain at the forefront of innovation in andrology and reconstructive urology. We look forward to welcoming you to BAUS 2025 and engaging in what promises to be a dynamic and insightful programme.

See you in June!
