Program Overview

The Female Urology and Urogynecology CME Symposium provides a forum for gynecologists, urologists, and urogynecologists to share perspectives and best practiceswith the goal of improving outcomes for their patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and pelvic floor disorders. Through didactic lectures, lively debate, complex cases, panel discussions and surgical videos, distinguished faculty present cutting-edge information on the diagnosis, treatment and management of these conditions.

Learning Objectives

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and pelvic floor disorders are managed by both urologists and gynecologists, each of whom brings a distinct perspective to patient care.  This program provides a unique forum for urologists and gynecologists to share their insights and experiences.  Virtually all of the surgical techniques, from “gold standards” to “cutting edge” are presented by world-renowned experts who utilize them in their daily practice.  

The curriculum includes didactic sessions on the anatomy & physiology of micturition, incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, neurogenic bladder, overactive bladder, and pelvic pain syndromes.  Separate break-out sessions for urologists and gynecologists are designed to educate each about the basics of diagnosis and treatment of common conditions in the other’s specialty.  The remainder of the seminar is devoted to detailed slide and video presentations, panel discussions and debates on the surgical treatment of incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, fistulas, ureteral injury and urethral diverticulum. 

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Incorporate into clinical practice a multi-disciplinary (urology/gynecology) approach to diagnosing and treating women with LUTS and/or pelvic floor disorders;
  • Discuss and compare the various treatment options for LUTS and pelvic floor disorders, including behavioral, pharmacologic and surgical.
  • Explain the associated risks and success rates of these modalities.
