This is a joint meeting co-hosted with the 8th Annual Meeting of the Continence Foundation of Ireland, and it is the first time IUGA has come to Ireland. Dublin is a medieval city whose origins go back well over a thousand years. Recently voted Europe’s most friendly city, it has a population of over 1.7 million and is home to over 100 different nationalities, all of whom contribute to the fabric of Dublin. Though it has a genuine cosmopolitan feel, Dublin has still managed to retain its own distinct culture which is expressed in a love of literature, drama and traditional music. The meeting is being held at the new Convention Centre Dublin, a state of the art conference facility opened just two years ago. It is ideally located on the River Liffey, close to the city centre and is within walking distance to nearly all of the conference hotels. In addition, the CCD is only a short walk to many of Dublin’s city centre attractions, including the National Gallery, Trinity College and Grafton Street, Dublin’s fashionable shopping area. The Local Organizing Committee along with IUGA’s Scientific Committee has developed a varied and fascinating scientific program which should suit the interests of all our members. The conference begins with two days of workshops and educational courses, including cadaveric workshops as well as surgical skills demonstration. The workshops will be followed on day three by 2.5 days of plenary sessions, roundtable discussions, interactive debates and state of the art lectures. There will also be a historic lecture on Ireland’s medical link to the Titanic, which sank exactly 100 years ago. Of course it would not be Ireland if it wasn’t for the ‘craic’ – an all embracing Irish word which sums up the Irish love for having a good time. Hence we shall have a diverse range of events to highlight Dublin’s thriving social scene. We have an Accompanying Person’s Program to allow partners to enjoy Dublin and its neighboring counties. Our Gala Dinner will take place at the Mansion House – the home of the Lord Mayor, and will feature traditional Irish artists. In addition, we are hosting the inaugural IUGA golf outing at the famous Royal Dublin Links, a course which has held the Irish Open many times. On behalf of IUGA and the CFI, we invite you to the land of 100,000 welcomes for what promises to be a meeting with excellent science and a chance to visit the Emerald Isle. Warm wishes, Declan KeaneBarry O’Reilly Congress ChairCongress Co-Chair 4 WELCOME 2013 May 28 - June 1, 2013 DUBLIN, Ireland Dear colleagues and friends, It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Dublin, Ireland for the 38th Annual Meeting of the International Urogynecological Association. This will undoubtedly be the premier urogynecologic meeting of the year, with a unique blend of stimulating and controversial scientific presentations and select social activities aimed at exposing all to Irish hospitality and flavor. Our hosts, Declan Keane (Congress Chair) and Barry O’Reilly (Congress Co-Chair), along with the local organizing committee, our Scientific Committee led by Michele Meschia, and our Workshops Sub-committee led by Sylvia Botros have prepared a superb agenda, including numerous practical workshops, scientific and plenary sessions, and debates to update each attendees’ knowledge of contemporary urogynecology. As pelvic surgeons, we are keenly aware of the transition in surgical approaches we are currently witnessing. I am certain that much of the data to be presented will provide us with guidance in our future surgical decision making. This meeting is indeed timely. I want to thank all who submitted abstracts for this meeting. It is the presentation of our members’ individual work that continually raises the scientific bar of each IUGA meeting. I encourage all attendees to attend the scientific sessions and visit the poster area where some of the most interesting discussions take place. I also want to thank our industry sponsors and exhibitors for participating in this exciting event. Your support allows us to hold the highest quality meetings in the best venues in the world. I encourage all attendees to visit the exhibit area and learn what new products and services are available for our patients. While at the exhibit area, please take the time to visit the IUGA booth - where you can meet the people who allow IUGA to achieve its mission: the staff of the IUGA office. Also, find out what new programs and resources are available for you through IUGA, and learn more about our new Foundation for International Urogynecologic Assistance, and how you can partake in this new venture we are initiating. Ireland is a great tourism (and beer and golf) destination. There will be plenty to do and see while we are here and I encourage you to spend a few extra days to appreciate Irish hospitality. You will be very glad you took the time to attend IUGA 2013. I look forward to personally greeting you while here. Our warmest gratitude goes to our local hosts. G.

It was founded in 1975 and Axel lngelman-Sundberg, as its first President, began a tradition of scientific integrity in the study of Urogynecology that IUGA, with its rapidly growing membership, has continued to foster. The international base of the society includes representation from 70 countries, which allows for the prompt dissemination of new ideas throughout the world. New educational programs have included the IUGA eXchange, which has enabled experienced Urogynecologists to share knowledge in countries and regions where there is little clinical expertise in the care of female pelvic floor disorders, and IUGA Regional Symposia designed as technical sessions held in regions of the world where Urogynecology is already represented. The organization has recently grown to more than 2500 members whose enthusiastic participation in IUGA Committees has contributed to the production of important IUGA sponsored documents.

There is a wealth of evidence to support the efficacy of antimuscarinics and they continue to be the mainstay of treatment, however OAB can be a frustrating condition to treat, particularly considering the challenge posed by patient adherence. The launch of a selective β3 adrenoceptor agonist, represents a new milestone in the history of OAB. Through a novel mode of action, this treatment provides a promising alternative to existing therapy. This symposium will briefly review the history of OAB and explore how this new therapy widens treatment choice for physicians and provides significant benefits for OAB patients.

Is manual perineal protection and/or episiotomy of any clinical significance? All dynamic changes on the perineum must be described to understand the biomechanics of perineal trauma. Fast clinical perineal mapping must be performed. If manual perineal protection and/or episiotomy are selected from fear of perineal tear, it must be clear whether such interventions are clinically beneficial and reproducible. Using re-evaluated evidence-based medicine, this workshop would inform participants about the execution of manual perineal protection and/or episiotomy and evaluate their role in preventing severe perineal tear or any adverse outcome. Lectures would be followed by practical training on models. WS5: Approach to the Posterior Compartment for Urogynecologists Wicklow Room 3- Level 2 Chair: Giulio Aniello Santoro Speakers: Anders Mellgren, S. Abbas Shobeiri Will provide participants the basic knowledge of: 1. The normal anatomy of the anorectal region, 2. The diagnostic procedures including the ultrasonographic imaging techniques (3D endoanal and endorectal US, and dynamic transperineal US) and 3. The main guidelines and indications for the treatment of pelvic floor disorders of the posterior compartment (fecal incontinence, posterior vaginal wall prolapse, obstructed defecation, anorectal and rectovaginal fistulas, anorectal pain). WS6: Neuromodulation for Urogynaecologists Wicklow Hall 1 - Level 2 Chair: Sohier Elneil Speakers: Alex Digesu, Michele Spinelli, John Heersakkers The aim is to explore the neurological basis of urogynaecological conditions and to provide guidance for management and treatment using different types of neuromodulation. WS7: Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy Training Module Liffey Hall 1 - Level 1 Chair: Ashley Carroll Speakers: Ellen Brock, Audra Hill Sacrocolpopexy is a durable and effective repair for apical pelvic support defects. A minimally invasive approach via traditional WORKSHOPS - SESSION 1 39 38 th Annual Meeting laparoscopy can be daunting for the novice laparoscopic surgeon due to the extensive suturing and knot tying involved with this procedure. Through the use of a simulated pelvic model with realistic dimensions, this workshop will provide hands-on training in the steps of a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. Suture attachment of the mesh to the anterior and posterior vaginal wall as well as the anterior longitudinal ligament will be demonstrated and practiced. Relevant anatomy, surgical technique, and management of complications will also be reviewed. WS8: Tips and Tricks for the Development of an Interdisciplinary Team for Conservation of Pelvic Health: the Edmonton Model Ecocem Room - Level 2 Chair: Cathy Flood Speakers: Debra Slade, Kelly Enders, Shirley Fung-Gee, Julia-lin Ding This workshop will address the roles of urogynecologist, nurse continence advisor, nurse practitioner, physiotherapist and family physician in the management of pelvic floor dysfunction in an interdisciplinary urogynecology model. Topics will include triage process, assessment modalities, patient education, physiotherapy techniques and strategies to manage complex medical issues that contribute to incontinence with the facilitation of urogynecological, urological and colorectal surgery consults as required. Case studies will be incorporated into the presentation. Participants will be able to experience a class led by our physiotherapists that models translation of physiotherapy techniques aimed at improving awareness and coordination of the pelvic floor. WS9: Bulking Agents for the Therapy of Urinary Incontinence Liffey Room 2 - Level 1 Chairs: Annette Kuhn, Kurt Lobodasch Speakers: Sonja Brandner and Gert Naumann The aim of the workshop is to obtain an overview over bulking techniques, substances and evidence-based results as well as an algorithm declaring the place of bulking agents for the therapy of urinary incontinence. During the hands-on portion of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to inject bulking agents into the bladder neck of a pig model. WS10: Bacteriuria and the Overactive Bladder: Could Bacteriuria Hold the Key to Understanding Urge Incontinence? Wicklow Room 5 - Level 2 Chair: Kate Moore Speakers: James Malone-Lee, Colin Walsh, Tom Hannan, Jennifer Rohn, Kylie Mansfield, Vikram Khullar The overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is the main cause of urge incontinence and urgency. Approximately 35% of patients are unresponsive to current antimuscarinic drugs. These “refractory” patients are a hard-core group of sufferers constantly expending health care resources in their search for relief. The cause of OAB is unknown although recent studies find bacterial cystitis in approximately 30-50% of people refractory to treatment. Infection and inflammation have largely been ignored as a contributor to the aetiology of OAB. This workshop will bring together clinicians and scientists to discuss the recent findings on bacterial cystitis and define the relationship between infection and inflammation with OAB. 40 WORKSHOPS - SESSION 1 May 28 - June 1, 2013 WORKSHOPS - SESSION 2 2013 DUBLIN, Ireland 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm WS11: Ultrasound in Urogynecology: 2D and 3D Imaging in Diagnosis of Pelvic Floor Disorders Liffey Hall 2 - Level 1 Chair: Heinz Koelbl Speakers: Rosa Maria Laterza, Kamil Svabik, Stefan Albrich. This workshop aims to provide the principles of the ultrasound application in urogynecology in order to complete the clinical assessment and to improve the diagnostic skills into routine urogynecological practice. The course is intended to give clinicians ideas about the standard requirements for basic 2D-3D pelvic floor ultrasound: after attending this workshop the participants should be able to perform a transvaginal and perineal pelvic floor ultrasound, obtaining basic measurements. The course will be delivered in a lecture format with a concluding panel discussion, giving delegates the opportunity to share practice with hands-on training and image processing with software. WS12: Transvaginal Repair of Vaginal Vault Prolapse Using Native Tissues Liffey Room 3 - Level 1 Chair: Bernard Haylen Speakers: Bob Shull, Peter Dwyer, Fred Milani, Dzung Vu, Mariella Withagen.

Dynamic rehabilitative ultrasound is used to image function and dysfunction of musculo-skeletal and pelvic floor disorders. The aim is to directly evaluate the effect of muscle contraction and relaxation, e.g. bladder neck elevation and descent. Workshop participants will practice amongst each other: abdominal muscle ultrasound to assess the transversus, external and internal oblique muscles as well as perineal and supra-pubic ultrasound to evaluate the bladder movements during pelvic floor contraction, straining, coughing and other functional tasks. WS18: Urodynamics of Female Voiding Dysfunction Wicklow Room 5 - Level 2 Chair: Luis Monteiro Speaker: Miguel Silva-Ramos Female outlet resistance and detrusor contractility are the mainstays of dysfunctional voiding. This problem is increasing in women after the new anti-incontinence surgeries. Evaluation of these parameters has been extensively studied and used in men. Female anatomy poses different problems of evaluation. Using the same methodology, however, most of women can be classified by their urethral resistance and/or detrusor function. We present the clinical grounds of female voiding dysfunction and the basics of pressure/flow curves physics. The pros and cons of existing female nomograms are discussed and some data-supported methods are proposed. WS19: Digital Palpation to Imaging: How Do or Should Pelvic-FloorMuscle Evaluation Tools Influence Physiotherapy Practice? Wicklow Room 3 - Level 2 Chair: Chantale Dumoulin Speakers: Melanie Morin, Jennifer Kruger, Petra J. Voorham-van der Zalm Aim: to review evidence-based literature on PFM evaluation tools —from digital evaluation to MRI imaging— and their influence on clinical practice. Objectives: 1. To review PMF evaluation tools —digital evaluation, pressure, EMG, dynamometry US and MRI— including their psychometric properties (reliability, validity…), advantages and disadvantages. 2. To present the known body of evidence on the relationships between (1) pelvic-floor morphological deficit and dysfunction and (2) symptomatology, diagnosis and therapy outcome predictions. 3. To examine the impact PFM evaluation literature has or should have on clinical practice for patients with urinary incontinence (UI), pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and vulvo-vaginal (perineal) pain.

Educational Objectives: the participants should learn about and discuss: - Risk factors of birth injuries to the pelvic floor - Evidence for pelvic floor muscle training in prevention and treatment of urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after childbirth - How many women are exercising during and after pregnancy - Adherence strategies - The role of clinical guidelines and challenges in implementation The participants will also be given a practical example of an evidence based group training session of effective pelvic floor muscle training and the principles of training will be discussed. WS21: Comprehensive 3D Pelvic Floor Ultrasonography with Emphasis on Endovaginal (EVUS) and Endoanal Imaging (EAUS) Liffey Hall 1 - Level 1 Chair: S. Abbas Shobeiri Speakers: Giulio A. Santoro, A. Pawel Wieczorek, Ghazaleh Rostaminia Many new imaging techniques have been developed for the evaluation of pelvic floor disorders. Imaging modalities require extensive comprehension of the pelvic floor anatomy. Damage to pelvic floor structures affects the structural integrity and function of the pelvic organs. Ultrasonography has emerged as a relatively easy to perform, cost-effective, and widely available technique for specialized imaging of this region. The purpose of this workshop is to familiarize the participants with various available ultrasound modalities with emphasis on two-dimensional, dynamic and three dimensional endovaginal and endoanal ultrasonography. Pelvic floor imaging is discussed in detail by using a global, multi-compartmental, rather than a compartmentalized anatomic approach. Its role with regard to the applications and clinical relevance in the main pathologic conditions of the pelvic floor – urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organs prolapse, and obstructed defecation syndrome is described. WORKSHOPS - SESSION 3 47 38 th Annual Meeting WS22: Urogynecologic Causes of Sexual Pain in Women: Diagnosis and Innovative Treatments Wicklow Room 2 - Level 2 Chair: Kristene Whitmore Speakers: Susan Kellogg-Spadt, Erica Fletcher This program will consider urogynecologic conditions associated with sexual pain in women. Specific topics included will be types of sexual pain; IC/BPS and dyspareunia; PVD/VVS and dyspareunia; and Hypertonus and dyspareunia. For each condition, the diagnosis and management will be overviewed. Specific psychosexual strategies will be discussed for each generator of sexual pain. WS23: Complications of Pelvic Floor Surgery Wicklow Room 5 - Level 2 Chairs: Peter Dwyer, Joseph Lee Speakers: Anna Rosamilia, Christopher Maher, Roger Goldberg, Brigitte Fatton, Paul Riss, Michele Meschia, Bernard Haylen, Ash Monga. This seminar will summarize both common and uncommon complications associated with standard/new technologies used for pelvic floor reconstruction in women and will also focus on evaluation, management including patient counselling. The intent of is to present both the approach to evaluation and management of these complications from both the urologic and urogynecologic perspective. There is also a discussion on moving forward with a debate on vag mesh vs ASC, surgery credentialing. WS24: Educational Models for Teaching Pelvic Floor Disorders Liffey Room 2 - Level 1 Chair: Deborah Myers Speakers: Vivian C. Aguilar, Rebecca Rogers, Marie F. Paraiso The goal of this workshop is to introduce teaching techniques, hands-on models/skill stations and workshops to educators who teach pelvic floor disorders. The workshop will both demonstrate the models and instruct how to build the models. At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to: 1. Use internet resources and models to teach pelvic floor anatomy and physiology, 2. Implement models that teach bladder function, cystoscopy, and pelvic exam for prolapse, 3. Implement teaching models for non-surgical and surgical skill stations, and 4. Implement timely feedback for their trainees with key steps and checklists. 48 WORKSHOPS SESSION 3 May 28 - June 1, 2013 2013 DUBLIN, Ireland WS25: Complications of Incontinence and Prolapse Surgery: Evaluation, Intervention, and Resolution—a Review from Both Specialties Wicklow Hall 1 - Level 2 Chair: Howard Goldman Speakers: Stephen Kraus, Sandip Vasavada, Stephen Jeffery This course will summarize both common and uncommon complications associated with standard and new technologies used for pelvic reconstruction and urinary incontinence therapy in women.

FRIDAY, MAY 31 ST 71 38 th Annual Meeting 72 with INTERNATIONAL UROGYNECOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION 38 th Annual Meeting CONTINENCE FOUNDATION OF IRELAND 2013 SCIENTIFIC SESSION Saturday, June 1st The Convention Centre - DUBLIN, Ireland The Foundation for International Urogynecological Assistance has been established as a registered charity in the US for scientific and educational purposes. Saturday, June 1st The first activity of FIUGA is a project to build a center of excellence in urogynecology for West Africa. This is being undertaken with the University of Ghana in Accra. IUGA members have been invited to volunteer their time and two placements, one from the US and another from Nepal, have occurred. The foundation’s involvement will help with the creation of a urogynecology/female pelvic medicine post-residency training program. If you are interested in a two-week placement in this program, please contact: info@iuga.org. The foundation will be soliciting financial support from IUGA members, industry and other organizations. These donations will be tax deductible at this time for US residents. The possibility of providing tax deduction receipts in other countries is being investigated. For more information about developments with FIUGA, please visit the foundation’s website at www.FIUGA.org The activities of the foundation can include: • Education, both entry to the specialty and continuing; • Research that advances the understanding of urogynecological issues and treatment of female pelvic floor disorders; • Patient education; • Scholarships for the study of the specialty of urogynecology; and, • The development of urogynecology in countries around the world. 2013 May 28 - June 1, 2013 DUBLIN, Ireland Saturday, June 1, 2013 7:30 am - 11:30 am Registration 7:00 am - 8:00 am Industry Sponsored Symposium - Allergan 8:00 am - 9:30 am Podium 7 - Stress Incontinence 8:30 am - 9:30 am Industry Wrap Up Meeting 9:30 am - 10:30 am Urodynamics Roundtable - Role of Urodynamics Before Sling Surgery Charles Nager, Gunnar Lose, Mark Vierhout. 10:00 am - 12:30 pm Exhibition and Posters Main Foyer The Liffey A - Level 1 The Auditorium - Level 3 The Liffey B - Level 1 The Auditorium - Level 3 Exhibition Hall 10:30 am - 11:00 am Morning Tea Break 11:00 am - 12:30 pm Oral Poster 8 - Stress Incontinence / OAB Exhibition Hall 11:00 am - 12:30 pm Oral Poster 9 - Prolapse The Liffey A - Level 1 11:00 am - 12:30 pm Oral Poster 10 - Miscellaneous The Liffey B - Level 1 12:30 pm - 1 :30 pm Closing Ceremony Awards The Auditorium - Level 3 The Auditorium - Level 3 Special Lectures SATURDAY, JUNE 1 ST 73 38 th Annual Meeting SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 2013 PODIUM SESSION 7 - Stress Incontinence 8:00 am - 9:30 am The Auditorium - Level 3 Chair: Paul Riss; Co-Chair: G.
