Female Urology and Voiding Dysfunction
October 15-16, 2010
Scientific Program Schedule–Female Urology and Voiding Dysfunction-14.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
Target Audience
Practicing urologists treating incontinence, pelvic floor disorders and voiding dysfunction in men and women. Non-physician professionals on urology practice teams may also benefit by attending.
Course Description/Purpose/Need
Female Urology and Voiding Dysfunction comprise a significant component of the general urologist's practice. Over the past several years there has been an evolution in the diagnosis and treatment of female urologic conditions as well as post-prostatectomy incontinence and neurological voiding dysfunction. Technological and pharmacological advances are constant. Outcomes and expectations from these advances will be communicated in practical 'take-home message' presentations.
Learning Objectives
The course will emphasize audience participation and interaction with the faculty. Learning will focus on practical aspects of male and female urology geared towards everyday practice with emphasis on surgical techniques.
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
Integrate physical examination, non-invasive testing and urodynamic tests into their practice to improve patient care through accurate diagnosis
Describe available treatment options for urologic conditions such as urinary incontinence, pelvic prolapse, interstitial cystitis and voiding dysfunctions and distinguish when a multi-disciplinary approach is appropriate.
Review the technical aspects of procedures for stress incontinence and female pelvic reconstruction that can be incorporated into surgical armamentarium
Examine the etiology and management of post-prostatectomy incontinence, including surgical treatment and artificial urinary sphincter and male perineal sling
Demonstrate the workup and management of the patient with neurogenic voiding dysfunction
