About
Introduction
I am appointed as a physician at the Department of Urology of Erasmus MC since 1991. My tasks comprise patient care, education and research, all related to disorders of the lower urinary tract. Treatment of the overactive bladder syndrome, in particular by sacral neuromodulation, and urodynamic examination are important themes. Studies on these subjects have been published in international journals. I am a member of the ‘Editorial Board’ of Neurourology and Urodynamics and of the ‘Guidelines panel on Neuro-Urology’ of the European Association of Urology (EAU).
