The 11th Annual Scientific Conference of Dermatology & Andrology Department – Al-Azhar University, Assiut Branch

The 11th Annual Scientific Conference of Dermatology & Andrology Department – Al-Azhar University, Assiut Branch represents an established academic and clinical conference dedicated to dermatological sciences and male reproductive medicine. Hosted by the Department of Dermatology & Andrology at Al-Azhar University (Assiut Branch), this 11th edition continues a long tradition of scientific excellence, bringing together medical practitioners, clinical faculty, postgraduates, and researchers from across Egypt and the wider region. The conference is structured across two separate venues to optimize both academic learning and interactive discussion. The opening phase takes place on November 11, 2026, at the Conference Hall on the Third Floor of the Outpatient Building at Al-Azhar University Hospital, focusing primarily on foundational lectures, clinical opening sessions, and university-led academic presentations. The main conference phase then transitions to the coastal setting of the Tolip Resort El Galala Majestic in Ain Sokhna, Egypt, from November 19 to November 21, 2026, featuring comprehensive scientific sessions, expert-led panel debates, interactive clinical case presentations, and collaborative networking opportunities. The extensive conference curriculum addresses key advances, diagnostic refinements, and therapeutic innovations across both Dermatology and Andrology. In the dermatology track, key focus areas include emerging biologics, targeted systemic therapies, and updated management protocols for inflammatory and autoimmune skin disorders such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and alopecia areata. The program also highlights modern cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic procedures, including advanced techniques in laser therapy, dermatologic surgery, injectables, and non-invasive facial rejuvenation methods. Additionally, delegates will explore diagnostic insights in dermatopathology and cutaneous oncology, focusing on early detection of skin malignancies alongside management strategies for pediatric and tropical dermatoses. In the andrology track, the curriculum focuses heavily on male infertility and reproductive medicine, covering diagnostic advances in semen analysis, micro-TESE procedures, targeted hormonal therapies, and assisted reproductive technology protocols. The sessions also cover sexual dysfunction and men’s health, offering updated medical and surgical interventions for erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory disorders, and age-related hypogonadism. Furthermore, interventional and surgical andrology sessions will review current techniques in penile prosthesis implantation, varicocelectomy, and reconstructive genital surgery. By bridging cutting-edge clinical research with everyday practice, the 11th Annual Scientific Conference of Dermatology & Andrology Department provides an invaluable forum for expanding professional expertise, evaluating new therapeutic paradigms, and building lasting academic collaborations.
