The 4th Annual Dar El-Zokora Conference (DZAC4 2026), held on 08-09 January 2026, successfully reaffirmed its position as a leading scientific platform dedicated to andrology, and reproductive medicine. Over the years, DZAC has evolved beyond a traditional medical meeting into a high-impact annual milestone where clinical expertise, surgical innovation, and evidence-based practice converge.

The 2026 edition welcomed 220 physical attendees, alongside 11 international experts, reflecting the conference’s growing regional and international relevance and its ability to attract top-tier scientific faculty.

A Scientifically Rich Program Addressing Contemporary Clinical Practice

 DZAC4 2026 delivered a comprehensive and carefully structured scientific program, designed to address real-world clinical challenges while introducing the latest therapeutic and surgical advances in male health.

Pediatric Andrology and Early Disease Intervention

 The conference opened with focused discussions on pediatric andrology, developed in collaboration with the Egyptian Pediatric Surgical Association (EPSA). Sessions explored early HPV vaccination in boys, hormonal treatment controversies, congenital penile anomalies, and pediatric urological surgery, emphasizing prevention, early diagnosis, and long-term patient outcomes.

Advances in Erectile Dysfunction and Prosthetic Urology

 A central pillar of DZAC4 was its in-depth exploration of erectile dysfunction management and penile prosthetic surgery. International experts presented the latest FDA-cleared implant technologies, infrapubic and retropubic surgical approaches, reservoir placement techniques, and complication management strategies. Emerging therapies such as PRP and radiofrequency treatments were also critically reviewed, offering participants a balanced, evidence-based perspective on innovation versus clinical applicability.

National Guidelines and Evidence-Based Implementation

 Dedicated sessions reviewed updates from the Egyptian Urological Guidelines, covering cryptorchidism, erectile dysfunction, and male infertility. These discussions focused on translating national recommendations into daily clinical practice, reinforcing standardized care pathways and patient safety.

Updates in Male Urology and Holistic Men’s Health

 The scientific agenda extended to BPH management, urethral strictures, prostate cancer updates, premature ejaculation beyond SSRIs, and integrated approaches to men’s health. Sessions addressing nutrition, hormonal balance, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, and hair restoration reflected the growing demand for multidisciplinary, patient-centered male health services.

Hands-On Workshops and Live Surgical Masterclasses

 DZAC4 placed strong emphasis on experiential learning, offering live surgical workshops and hands-on training sessions. Participants engaged in advanced workshops on minimally invasive BPH management using Rezūm therapy, as well as live masterclasses in penile prosthetic surgery, including advanced modifications and erosion management. These sessions provided direct exposure to surgical decision-making, technique refinement, and complication avoidance.

International Faculty and Knowledge Exchange

 The conference welcomed a distinguished international faculty from Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, fostering high-level scientific exchange and cross-border collaboration. This international presence strengthened DZAC’s role as a regional hub for global expertise in andrology and male urology, while supporting knowledge transfer aligned with international standards.

Professional Organization and Seamless Delivery by ICOM Group

 The success of DZAC4 2026 was underpinned by the professional planning, operational excellence, and scientific coordination delivered by ICOM Group, the official conference organizer.

From pre-event planning and scientific program coordination to onsite operations, speaker management, audiovisual execution, and delegate experience, ICOM Group ensured a seamless, high-quality conference journey aligned with international best practices in medical event management. The smooth integration of physical and virtual participation, structured session flow, hands-on workshop logistics, and exhibition management reflected a deep understanding of the complexities of high-level medical conferences.

Reflecting on the conference vision and its continued growth, Prof. Osama Ghattas, Conference President, stated “DZAC is no longer just a scientific meeting. It has become a shared scientific home where knowledge, innovation, and human connection come together. Through collaboration and evidence-based learning, we aim to continuously elevate medical practice in andrology and enhance men’s health worldwide”.

Setting a Benchmark for Andrology Conferences in the Region

 With its strong scientific content, international collaboration, hands-on educational model, and professional organization, DZAC4 2026 successfully reinforced its status as a benchmark conference in andrology and male urology. The event addressed today’s clinical realities while setting a forward-looking agenda for innovation, research, and integrated patient care.

As DZAC continues to grow in scale and influence, it remains a trusted platform for advancing clinical excellence, surgical innovation, and multidisciplinary collaboration in the field of men’s health.
