Aims and Objectives
|
The Aim of this workshop is to educate attendees on the latest research in regenerative medicine for stress urinary incontinence. Internationally renown researchers from around the world will present their work in the context of current clinical therapies for stress incontinence and current clinical trials. Promising research suggests that noncellular regenerative approaches have great promise for treating and preventing stress incontinence, as well as for reducing complications of surgical treatments such as mesh sling procedures. These promising therapies include regenerative electrical stimulation and regenerative pharmacologic approaches such as treating with estrogen, CXCR12, or the secretions of stem cells.
Learning Objectives - 1. Understand the concepts and terms of regenerative medicine in the context of outcomes of recent clinical trials testing regenerative therapies for stress incontinence.
2. Understand the goals and results of recent preclinical research into noncellular regenerative therapies for stress incontinence.
3. Discuss and advance the clinical context for these promising therapeutics and how to translate them into clinical trials.
