Native Tissue Approaches for Pelvic Organ Prolapse: What’s New? – Summary
Oluwarotimi S. Nettey, MD, MHS, discusses the anatomy and pathophysiology of pelvic organ prolapse. She underscores the importance of native tissue repair, as opposed to the use of mesh, in maintaining the pelvic floor’s natural anatomical integrity and function. This approach minimizes the risks associated with synthetic materials, such as mesh erosion and infection.
The lecture details various native tissue repair techniques, including vaginal, such as anterior and posterior colporrhaphy, and uterosacral ligament suspension, and abdominal approaches, such as sacrocolpopexy. Dr. Nettey highlights recent innovations in suture materials and surgical instruments that enhance the precision and durability of native tissue repairs.
About The 27th Annual Innovations in Urologic Practice:
Presented by co-chairs Mohit Khera, MD, MBA, MPH, and Michael Coburn, MD, FACS, the Innovations in Urologic Practice conference provides a detailed review and commentary on multiple genitourinary and urologic diseases. Among the featured oncological topics are bladder cancer and immunotherapies, as well as upper tract cancer management, prostate cancer, including state-of-the-art imaging, focal therapy, and MRI. Experts also discuss new tools and techniques for nephrectomy and treating advanced renal cell carcinoma. In terms of general urological approaches, the conference also includes pelvic reconstruction and trauma; men’s health topics like male infertility, andrology, and sexual dysfunction; OAB and voiding dysfunctions; and ways to diagnose and treat infections in the urology patient.
