Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Rebecca Rogers gives the Ulf Holmstein Lecture on promoting innovation in urogynecology and encouraging innovative thought processes. She discusses the importance of measuring sexual health in women with pelvic floor disorders, as well as the need for patient-centered outcomes in the field. Dr. Rogers shares her own experiences with treating patients and emphasizes the importance of defining and measuring "cure" in pelvic floor disorders, focusing on symptom relief and patient satisfaction rather than just anatomical changes. She also discusses the development of the PISQ-IR, a sexual function measure sponsored by Ayuga, and the challenges and opportunities in integrating patient-reported outcomes into clinical practice. Dr. Rogers concludes by stressing the need for better electronic health records, meaningful decision aids for patients, and more patient-centered interventions in the future of urogynecology.
