title: International Society of Urology in the twenty-first century.
abstract: The International Society of Urology (SIU) has revised its by-laws and reformed its system to adjust to the changes of the new millennium. The most important role the SIU can play at present is to fill the gap between developing and developed countries, which can be accomplished through the sister center program. After having achieved this primary aim, international cooperative work at a higher level can be considered through establishment of various institutes to bolster the high standard of world urology.
