Workstream 1 is our paediatric workstream, focusing on rare congenital uro-recto-genital anomalies. The Expertise Areas (EAs) covered by Workstream 1 are: These EAs require specific diagnoses and surgical correction, often in both acute and staged approaches in neonatal or childhood stages. Expertise is crucial to prevent costly and harmful secondary surgeries. Multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) offer life-long care, enhancing post-operative well-being. ERN eUROGEN bridges paediatric and adult care gaps, enhancing outcomes through crossover and workstream transfer from our paediatric workstream (WS1) to our adult workstream (WS2). Improved transition leads to lifelong positive outcomes and disease self-management, supporting continuous care across life stages. Dr Giovanni Mosiello is head of the paediatric Neuro-Urology and Surgery for Continence Division of the Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital in Rome, Italy, which involves several academic activities with different universities in Rome (Sapienza, Campus BioMedico, Tor Vergata, UniCamillus) and the University of Genova. He is the Director of a training-host centre for Pediatric Urology recognised by the European Society of Pediatric Urology (ESPU), the European Association of Urology (EAU), and the Societe International d’Urologie (SIU). He has been a surgical tutor for paediatric urology in many countries worldwide. His clinical activity and research are focused on surgical reconstruction of the lower urinary tract in spina bifida, anorectal malformation, urogenital sinus, bladder exstrophy, posterior urethral valves, and for treatment of obstructive and refluxing megaureter, stones and hypospadias. We recommend the EAU Guidelines on paediatric urology, which you can access from our guidelines page. ERN eUROGEN has developed a document on Transition Care for Individuals with Rare Uro-Recto-Genital Conditions: A Lifelong, Patient-Centered Approach, which sets out how the transition from paediatric to adult healthcare should be organised for people with rare uro-recto-genital conditions. This is available from our guidelines page.
