Polling will be utilized during this symposium.

This symposium is devoted to difficult and often avoided topics in the care of pelvic floor disorders. We will discuss the Safety of mesh in the pelvis, how to manage chronic pelvic pain in patients, the value of Advanced Practice Providers (APP) in a pelvic floor center, and recurrent rectal prolapse. A case discussion panel will follow the presentations highlighting the learning points of these talks.

After attending this symposium, we hope you will be more aware of the rewards and downfalls of pelvic mesh placement, have an improved understanding of chronic pelvic pain, its possible sources, and possible treatment options, how to obtain approval to hire and effectively integrate an APP in a pelvic floor center, and how to manage recurrent rectal prolapse.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Discuss the benefits and pitfalls of the use of pelvic mesh and possible medicolegal implications.
  • Recognize the potential sources and etiologies of chronic pelvic pain and be aware of basic management strategies.
  • Implement an Advanced Practice Provider into a pelvic floor clinical practice.
