WS7 | Step by step vaginal surgery 

Workshop Faculty: 

S. M. Mikhail, S. Salvatore. S. Ginath, A. Padoa
S. Athanasiou, M. Serati, A. Braga

Vaginal surgery remains the most minimally invasive and anatomically favorable approach for many gynecological procedures. Despite this, there is growing global concern about the decline in training opportunities in vaginal surgery, leading to the potential erosion of these vital skills. The workshop aims to: provide foundational knowledge of functional pelvic anatomy relevant to vaginal
reconstructive surgery; define indications, contraindications, and limitations for each specific vaginal procedure, offer a step-by-step overview of surgical techniques, supported by video clips for
each procedure, present outcomes, success rates, and potential complications associated with each
technique, along with their managemen

WS10 | Better Outcomes of Anti-Incontinence Surgery: Practical Tips and Tricks in Pelvic Floor Sonography and Sling Procedures

Workshop Faculty: 

G. Surkont

The workshop aims to demonstrate the full clinical potential of pelvic floor sonography (PFS) in the pre-, intra- and postoperative assessment of suburethral slings in order to improve surgical outcomes.
Through clinical cases, ultrasound videos, and surgical recordings, faculty will demonstrate how imaging findings influence intraoperative and postoperative decision-making — including whether to loosen, incise, remove, or observe a sling.
The workshop will be highly interactive. Continuous discussion and audience participation are encouraged throughout the sessions

WS2 | Midurethral Slings & Beyond: Retropubic, Transobturator Midurethral slings and Injectables:  From Patient Selection to Mastery of Technique and Complication Management

Workshop Faculty:

S. Athanasiou, D. Zacharakis, Y. Daykan, D. Robinson, T. MiKos, M. Sanchez Ferrer, T. Grigoriadis, A. Prodromidou

This interactive, hands-on workshop provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary surgical management of female SUI, focusing on midurethral slingprocedures and minimally invasive alternatives. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of retropubic and transobturator techniques, alongside urethralbulking agent therapies. The program integrates detailed anatomical teaching of the retropubic and transobturator spaces with step-by-step surgicalguidance, video demonstrations, and simulation-based training.
Through a combination of expert-led lectures and practical workshops, the course emphasizes patient selection, operative decision-making, and the safeexecution of procedures. Special attention is given to the recognition, prevention, and management of complications, as well as to the treatment of complexand recurrent cases. Evidence-based recommendations and current clinical practice guidelines are incorporated throughout. The course is designed to equipparticipants with practical skills and clinical confidence to implement both sling procedures and injectable therapies in everyday urogynecological practice.

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.
Learning outcomes:
At the end of the workshop attendees will be able to:
• Recognise evidence based interventions for the prevention of perineal trauma
• Understand that liberal episiotomy policies are not recommended for spontaneous labour
• Understand the principles of using trans-perineal ultrasound to assess the anorectal complex
• Appreciate requirements for end-to-end & overlap OASIS repair

WS11 | Let’s Talk About Sex in Urogynecology: Practical Strategies to Assess and Optimize Sexual Outcomes”

Workshop Faculty: 

M. Litos, D. Vasileiadou, A. Padoa, A.  Tsitoura, A. M. Koulakmanidis

Sexual function is a fundamental component of quality of life, yet it remains under-addressed in routine urogynecologic practice due to time constraints, lack of training, and clinician discomfort.
Pelvic floor disorders such as pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence can significantly affect sexual function, while both conservative and surgical
treatments may improve—or in some cases negatively impact—sexual outcomes. In addition, hormonal changes and psychiatric factors, including the use of 
psychotropic medications, play a crucial and often under-recognized role.
This workshop is designed to provide a structured, evidence-based, and highly practical approach to sexual health in urogynecology. The program has been refined to include a small number of focused, high-yield sessions, ensuring clarity and clinical relevance.
Participants will gain practical tools for integrating sexual health into everyday clinical practice, including communication strategies, structured approaches to sexual history taking, and evidence-based management of common conditions such as dyspareunia and low desire

WS12 | Beyond Pain Relief: A Multidisciplinary Hands-On Workshop for Restoring Sexual Wellbeing in Women with Chronic Pelvic Pain

Workshop Faculty: 

M. Lyons, A. Doshani,

This workshop is designed for the full multidisciplinary team involved in the care of women with chronic pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction:
• Gynaecologists and urogynaecologists
• Urologists with a pelvic floor interest
• Pelvic health physiotherapists
• Sexual health clinicians
• Clinical nurse specialists in women's health
No prior expertise in sexual medicine is required. The session builds on clinical skills participants
already bring — assessment, diagnosis, referral, and patient communication — and extends
these into a domain that is frequently under-addressed not from lack of concern, but from lack of
a shared practical framework across disciplines.
The workshop is deliberately structured so that different specialties learn alongside and from
each other. The small-group case work in particular is designed to surface how the same patient
presentation looks different depending on who is sitting across the desk — and how a co-
ordinated approach produces better outcomes than any single specialty working in isolation
