AUGS/IUGA Scientific Meeting 2019-IUGA International Urogynecological Consultation (IUC) on POP Presentations

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the International Urogynecology Consultation (IUGA) introduces a new project focused on pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The project aims to increase knowledge and create a library of information on POP on the IUGA website. The presentation highlights the formation of a steering committee and subcommittees that will focus on different aspects of POP, including clinical definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, patients' perception, and treatment outcomes. Each subcommittee will conduct literature searches and write chapters on their respective topics. The presentation emphasizes the need for global collaboration and invites members to get involved in the project. The timeline for the project is discussed, with the expectation of chapters being published on the IUGA website and in the Blue Journal. The video concludes with a call for questions and suggestions, emphasizing that the project is in its early stages and open to input from IUGA members.<br /><br />Additionally, the video features various committee chairs from the International Urogenital Association summarizing the progress and plans for their respective committees' work on POP. The committees are focused on different aspects such as anatomical factors, evaluation and management, associated symptoms, video content, and the patient's perspective. Each committee is conducting literature reviews, consulting experts, and working towards addressing knowledge gaps in their specific areas of focus. The ultimate goal of the project is to provide a comprehensive understanding of POP, guide evidence-based practice, and improve the care and management of women with POP, ultimately enhancing their quality of life. No specific credits were mentioned in the video.
