The challenge before us is to establish a firm base for IPEG so that we can meet and surpass our educational and research goals. We have created seven volunteer committees made up of IPEG members interested in creating standards of practice, in pursuing outcomes & research, in organizing excellent educational meetings and courses, in growing the membership of IPEG and identifying new emerging technology.
We encourage you to submit an abstract for consideration at the upcoming meeting to be held March 6-10, 2012 in sunny San Diego, California.
We encourage you to contact the IPEG office if you have any questions about IPEG, the contact information is also on this site.

Yours truly,

When IPEG was founded in 1991, our goals were simple:
- To assure that all pediatric surgeons, pediatric urologists and general surgeons who treat children have access to current information defining the best, least invasive surgical treatment.
- To encourage development and evaluation of those treatments through peer-to-peer communication, education and research.
