Aims and Objectives

This workshop titled "HEARTSINKERS" explores the management of 3 complex , yet commonly seen conditions :
(1) Recurrent UTI in women and in neurogenic bladder patients
(2) Functional outlet obstruction in Younger Adults (including pelvic floor overactivity and pelvic pain as causes )
(3) Intractable female urinary incontinence (excluding fistula)
With an international multidisciplinary faculty (urology, urogynaecology, physiotherapy), the diagnosis, utility of investigations, and treatment options of each will be discussed. Real cases will also be used. Delegates will gain a better understanding through the most updated evidence-based data delivered by an experienced faculty. Ample time is given for Q and A during the workshop.
Learning Objectives - Understand the urinary microbiome, and the most updated evidence in the management options of recurrent UTI in women, and also in neurogenic bladder patients, including discussion on preventative strategies
- How to Diagnose and manage conditions which causes functional obstruction in the younger adult, such as various forms of obstruction at the level of the bladder neck, rhabdosphincter, and pelvic floor musculature. Cases will be presented with multidisciplinary input. Pelvic pain and psychosocial factors a causes of voiding dysfunction in this younger patient group will also be discussed.
- Discuss management options in the female with severe intractable urinary incontinence, the elderly patient will also be included in this discussion. Both conservative and surgical options will be discussed, including bulking agents, native tissue repairs, artificial urinary sphincter, and urinary diversion.
