Hackensack Meridian UroGyn Symposium 2024

A practical, case-based update on female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. Sessions translate guideline changes and new evidence into clear pathways for evaluation, conservative therapy, office procedures, and operative management of pelvic floor disorders.
What You Will Learn

Stepwise workups for stress/urge/mixed incontinence, OAB, and pelvic organ prolapse

Pelvic floor rehabilitation: behavioral therapy, pessaries, vaginal devices, and when to escalate

Procedural updates: midurethral slings, autologous fascial slings, bulking agents, apical suspensions, colpocleisis

Neuromodulation & chemodenervation: patient selection, programming, troubleshooting

Mesh & complication management: pain, exposure, erosion—diagnosis and surgical strategies

UTI prevention in the urogyne patient, GSM management, sexual function counseling

Perioperative optimization, ERAS, imaging/urodynamics pearls, and shared decision-making tools
