It gives me a great pleasure to extend to you this invitation for the Joint meeting of the Mediterranean Society of Pelvic Floor Disorders and Mediterranean Society of Coloproctology on April 9 - 11 2009 in Cairo, Egypt. On behalf of our Society, I welcome you to share with us this event which will blend education and controversy with the inspiring interaction of audience and faculty and can be expected to be a most rewarding experience. An excellent faculty of specialists will deliver concise state-of-the-art lectures on topics from colorectal surgery, gynecology, and urology through sexology, neurology, and epidemiology to diagnostics, interventions, and conservative therapies. We are pleased to organize the Joint meeting and do hope you will be able to join us for that occasion.
