Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and pelvic floor disorders are common conditions among aging women that challenge physicians from diagnostic and therapeutic standpoints. This seminar provides a forum for gynecologists, urogynecologists, and urologists to discuss and compare ideas and experiences. The aim is to provide participants with insight into how to evaluate, diagnose, and manage LUTS and pelvic floor disorders, conditions that often coexist. To explore better ways to quantify developments in coding, cystoscopy, and pelvic examination, the seminar includes didactic lectures, video presentations, and question-and-answer breakout sessions. At the conclusion, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the benefits associated with the successful treatment of LUTS and pelvic floor disorders.
