Video Summary

In this video transcript, Dr. David Cohen introduces a symposium organized by the OX and the Latin American Association for the Pelvic Floor (LAB). He explains that OX and LAB have been forging a relationship over the past two years and have collaborated on various projects. The symposium, titled "Surgical Forum, Experience of the United States and Latin America," aims to bring together top-level science from the United States to Latin America and vice versa.<br /><br />Dr. Víctor Miranda discusses the surgical technique of sacrocolpopexy, which involves the use of mesh to correct prolapse. He explains that the Latin American Center for Pelvic Surgery in Chile has performed over 300 sacrocolpopexy surgeries with good results. He highlights the advantages of sacrocolpopexy, such as its effectiveness in correcting prolapse and reducing the need for further surgeries. Dr. Miranda also mentions upcoming symposiums and conferences organized by LAB and OX.<br /><br />Dr. Omar Dueñas discusses vaginal techniques of apical suspensions for prolapse repair. He explains the different surgical options, such as suspensions to the sacrospinous and uterosacral ligaments. Dr. Dueñas mentions the use of capture devices for suturing, such as harpoons or capio, to anchor the sutures. He also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques and highlights the need for further research to determine the long-term outcomes.<br /><br />Overall, this symposium aims to provide a platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange between OX and LAB, focusing on surgical techniques for pelvic floor disorders in Latin America and the United States.
