| Target Audience | Urology, Urogynaecology and Female & Functional Urology, Bowel Dysfunction, Pure and Applied Science, Conservative Management |
| Aims and Objectives | To learn how to perform and interpret integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound (transperineal, transvaginal, endovaginal) to assess pelvic floor dysfunction and its use as a biofeedback tool. The abnormalities observed include anatomical (rectocoele, enterocoele, intussusception, cystocoele, bladder neck descent, uterine descent) and functional (dyssynergy, poor propulsive effort), as well as to assess the mesh.
This hands-on workshop will allow participants to practice image interpretation and begin using ultrasound in their clinical practice. Learning Objectives - Understand the pelvic floor anatomy and indications for performing an integrated pelvic floor ultrasound
- Understand how to perform an ultrasound and recognise normal findings.
- Use of ultrasound as a biofeedback tool and Interpret pathological findings on integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound - 1) Transperineal – rectocoele, enterocoele, rectal prolapse, cystocoele, uterine descent, dyssynergy, 2) Posterior transvaginal – rectocoele, enterocoele, intussusception, rectal prolapse, dyssynergy, propulsive effort, 3) Anterior transvaginal – cystocoele, bladder neck support, propulsive effort, 4) Endovaginal – levator plate injuries. Learn how to use transperineal ultrasound as a visual biofeedback tool.
