Faculty: Vince Lucente, MD (Course Director), Mickey Karram, MD; Doug Hale, MD; Heather Van Raalte, MD
In recent years the treatment options for these conditions have grown to include the use of mesh. With this increased use of synthetic mesh for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic floor repair surgery, there is an increased need for education to avoid potential mesh complications, as well as handling of mesh related complications. Topics presented will include patient selection, surgeon technique, anatomic review of tissue planes and tissue preparation. In the event erosion or exposure of mesh should occur the faculty will discuss techniques for managing these complications.
Look for more information coming soon!
