Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction 2025 Winter Meeting

Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction 2025 Winter Meeting is organized by Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU) and will be held from Feb 26 - Mar 01, 2025 at The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa, Palm Springs, California, United States of America.

Educational Objectives:
Clinical:

• Summarize the key findings of MAPP, LURN, and other translational multi-institutional groups sponsored by the NIDDK.
• Review the impact of recent technological advances in URPS (e.g., electrical artificial urinary sphincter (AUS), implantable tibial nerve devices, and the UTI vaccine).
• Describe integrative, non-medicinal options for urologic pain.
• Review the advantages and disadvantages of addressing male OAB with outlet surgery vs. neuromodulation.
• Discuss the current and proposed uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical urology and in research.
• Review the current and potential roles of non-surgical treatment options for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) (e.g., vaginal lasers, vaginal inserts, electrical stimulation).
• Discuss the novel changes to the current AUA/SUFU Female OAB guidelines in clinical practice.
• Identify issues that will impact the future of URPS and ABU certification.
• Demonstrate proficiency in proper coding and billing of URPS procedures.
• Identify best practices for wellness in URPS practice.
• Evaluate and interpret complex urodynamic studies.
• Evaluate complex URPS cases.
• Summarize best practices related to medical malpractice prevention and management.
• Review the concept of and opportunities for social advocacy as it relates to URPS practice.
• Summarize the research findings of the Neurogenic Bladder Research Group.
• Describe the benefits and areas of opportunity of URPS-trained urologists transitioning to a gynecology practice.
• Describe the current status of accredited and non-accredited URPS fellowships.
• Review the risks and benefits of native tissue vs. synthetic mesh sacral colpopexy.
• Review risks and mitigative strategies of pregnancy and delivery in women with reconstructed bladders or placental variations.

Basic Science

• Describe the cell types that make up the urethra and how they differ between males and females.
• Discuss recent advances in regenerative technology used in urethral reconstruction.
• Describe how aging impacts neuroimmune interactions in the bladder.
• Review how the brain-bladder connection changes with age.
• Discuss the central and peripheral neural control of bladder function.
• Describe how neuromodulation can be applied to treat bladder dysfunction.
• Interpret the latest research findings from promising young investigators in the field of benign urologic disease.
• Discuss the impact that funding from the NIDDK has had on the field of benign urology.
• Discuss how preclinical research findings have been applied in a translational manner.
• Describe how machine learning is being used to interpret large omics-based data sets in benign urologic conditions.
