The Working Group for Reconstructive Urology within the Scandinavian Association of Urology:

The idea of forming a working group for reconstructive urology was born at a visit to the pub "The George" at The Great Queen Street in London, May 15, 1997. The beer-drinkers were August Bakke, Wiking Månsson and Alexander Schultz (please, see photo), who were in London because of the Reconstructive Urology Symposium, arranged by Anthony Mundy.

The idea was supported by the Scandinavian Association of Urology and, like the other working groups, it has representatives from each country; Klaus Møller and Kenneth Steven from Denmark, Kari Tuhkanen and Veli-Matti Puolakka from Finland, August Bakke and Alexander Schultz from Norway, Olof Jonsson and Wiking Månsson (presently chairman of the group) from Sweden and Eirikur Jonsson from Iceland.

The group has met twice yearly. This has been possible through economic support by AstraTech and Astra of the respective countries.

A survey has been conducted regarding the quantity of different reconstructive urological procedures in the Scandinavian countries. The result of the study has been presented at the national meetings, and is in press in the Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology. Quite interesting, and surprising, differences were found between the countries.

The group is now working with plans for prospective, randomized trials regarding reconstructive procedures, such as functional results after different types of orthotopic neobladders, the impact on renal function of refluxing and antirefluxing ureterointestinal anastomosis, different techniques for surgical treatment of Peyronie´s disease, etc.
