WS1
Perineal Trauma Prevention Education Evaluation Repair and Scanning (PEERS)
Faculty: Khaled Ismail (Chair), Renaud de Tayrac, Margarita Manresa, Jan Willem de Leeuw, Vladimir Kalis
The main aim of the course is to ensure that the management of the perineum at the time of childbirth is in line with best evidence practice.
At the end of the training attendees will be able to:
• Recognise evidence-based interventions for the prevention of perineal trauma
• Understand that routine and liberal episiotomy policies are not recommended for spontaneous labour
• Understand the principles of using trans-perineal ultrasound (TPU) in assessing the anorectal complex
• Undertake end-to-end & overlap repairs of obstetric Anal Sphincter injuries (OASIs)
Max Nr of participants: 30
WS2
Pelvic Floor Ultrasound
Faculty: Kamil Svabik (Chair), Cristina Ros, Jan Dvorak
The workshop aims to present the current state of clinical use of pelvic floor ultrasound in urogynecology. The ultrasound became in many urogynecological units a routine tool in routine diagnostics algorithms. In recent years there was increasing evidence that ultrasound allows the description of the anatomical situation in the majority of urogynecological disorders like prolapse and incontinence. It is a clinical tool to provide and store evidence of preoperative and postoperative patient anatomical status as well as a functional assessment. In postsurgical assessment, it is essential to describe and understand the complications, especially after the implants. There the ultrasound plays an irreplaceable role.

WS3
Female Sexual Health: How Urogynecology can help
Faculty: Sonia Angles (Chair), Y. Reisman, Stefano Salvatore
Incorporating female sexual health into the training of trainees and young specialists is essential for fostering a healthcare environment where all aspects of a woman's health are addressed. This leads to better patient care, improved mental and physical health outcomes, and a more comprehensive approach to the medical practice. Female sexual health often intersects with various medical disciplines, including gynecology, endocrinology, psychology, and urology. Training in this area promotes a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, fostering collaboration among different specialties for more effective treatment. Sexual health concerns are common among women, including disorders of desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain. Young doctors need to be prepared to recognize, diagnose, and manage these conditions, as they significantly affect quality of life. Training young doctors in this field encourages open discussions, reduces stigma, and ensures that patients feel comfortable seeking help for their sexual health concerns.

WS4
Urinary retention in women: clinical scenarios, evaluation and treatment
Faculty: Anna Padoa (Chair) Maurizio Serati, Andrea Braga, Bence Kozma
In the absence of standardized guidelines, management of female urinary retention is based on clinical experience. Diagnosis and treatment of postoperative urinary retention, a common clinical scenario, vary widely among clinicians. Data is lacking on the approach to postpartum urinary retention. Functional urinary retention is sporadically encountered and represents a challenge even for experienced urogynecologists.
The aims of the workshop is to:
• Provide a comprehensive review of postoperative urinary retention following anti-incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse surgery.
• Summarize the knowledge on postpartum urinary retention.
• Overview functional urinary retention in women across the lifespan.
WS5
Apical suspension techniques in vaginal pelvic organ prolapse surgery
Faculty: Stergios K. Doumouchtsis (Chair), Sofia Tsiapakidou, Victoria Asfour, Oudai Ali
The workshop aims to present and discuss surgical techniques with emphasis on safe approaches in vaginal procedures for pelvic organ prolapse. Training needs and challenges in these procedures have also been identified and highlighted by The European Network of Trainees in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ENTOG).
The objectives are: Present surgical steps for apical suspension during vaginal hysterectomy and prolapse repair including vault suspension options, sacrospinous procedures, vNotes with emphasis on safe surgical principlesHighlight principles of optimal patient selection surgical planning and decision making. Present core outcomes and outcome measures applicable both in clinical practice and research for women having vaginal prolapse surgery.
WS6
Application of energy-based devices in urogynaecology
Faculty: Christian Phillips (Chair), Stefano Salvatore, David Lukanovic, Stavros Athanasiou
Energy based devices (EBD’s) are becoming more popular and diverse in the field of gynaecology and urogynaecology. However, often industry may portray one device similar to another, claiming similar features, mode of action and effect on target tissues/disease states. The key objectives / aims of this workshop include:
• To outline the different types of EBD: their mode of action and gynaecological applications
• To outline the similarities and differences between technologies with evidence to date for EBDs in gynaecology
• To provide advice and guidance for clinicians thinking of adopting EBD technology into their practice
• To encourage further research into EBD’s
