| Aims and objectives: Surgeons involved in the care of female patients should know vaginal surgery. A specific goal of the faculty is to employ scientific principles, published information and clinical experience to describe and position newly developed techniques in current clinical practice. The main theories of the development of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) will be explored with the audience in an interactive format. Special attention will be given to new techniques that use synthetics tapes in SUI surgery. This course will also cover the management of complications of surgery for stress incontinence. This course will include detailed coverage of pelvic anatomy so that urologists may better understand and apply modern surgical approaches to pelvic organ prolapse. Vaginal approach to prolapse and the use of different meshes will be covered in a critical way based upon personal experience. Management of periurethral cysts, fistulas and other rare conditions will be shown both during podium and video presentations. Carefully prepared clinical cases and video demonstration of various surgical techniques and tricks will provide a clear understanding of the most common procedures to all participants. An interactive course means active participation by the audience, and participants are encouraged to prepare and present interesting and challenging clinical cases for consultation by the faculty. After this course, participants should know how to apply the newest techniques in patients with stress incontinence, prolapse and iatrogenic injuries of lower urinary tract. This course will facilitate the decision making process for those who are just starting their careers. A CD-rom made especially for this course with some videos will be given to every participant afterwards |
