The 77th Congress of the German Society of Urology (DGU) came to a successful end last Saturday at the Congress Center Hamburg. Under the motto “Urology connects”, more than 7,100 participants from clinics, practices, nursing and science have come together since Wednesday, more than ever before; including over 1,000 at the parallel nursing congress, which is also a record. In the final plenary session, Congress President Prof. Dr. Bernd Wullich handed over the office to Prof. Dr. Susanne Krege. She will chair the 78th DGU Congress in 2026 in Düsseldorf.

At the general meeting, three new members were elected to the board. Prof. Dr. Jens-Uwe Stolzenburg, Leipzig, takes over as 2nd Vice President. Prof. Dr. Angelika Borkowetz, Rostock, will be responsible for the Guidelines and Quality Assurance department in the future. Dr. Christian Eggersmann, Rheine, will head the Networking of Practice and Clinic department.
Congress President Prof. Dr. Bernd Wullich had set sustainability as a central topic. The topic shaped the exchange in Hamburg and was taken up by many participants

The scientific program reflected the diversity of urology: over 130 events with more than 400 speakers offered insights into new therapeutic approaches in oncology, current issues of early detection and digital applications. Robotics and artificial intelligence play a role, as do complementary medical procedures and palliative care. The promotion of young talent and the greater involvement of patients also met with a great response.
