HPV WORKSHOP |
|
| Capsule | Vaccination has the potential to save lives by preventing cervical cancer, while reducing the need for biopsies and invasive procedures associated with abnormal Pap tests. Which are the options of universal vaccination as compared to improving the diagnosis and treatment of early cases? Do we need proposals combining HPV vaccination and screening? A discussion on pertinent questions will precede the round table discussion. The grand debate of diagnosis and treatment versus vaccination is especially interesting in China which is the largest of the countries who have not yet decided to offer global vaccination |

CORRECTION OF PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE (POP) |
| Capsule |
The best method for correction of POP remains elusive. POP affects half of parous women and the lifetime risk for surgery for POP is over 10%. 1 out of 3 women require more than one surgical repair; this fact may reflect agedependent progression, but also the wide variety of surgical techniques used – indicating the lack of consensus with regard to optimal treatment. While good anatomical restoration does not necessarily imply restoration of normal bladder, bowel and sexual function, the impact of surgery can sometimes be unpredictable and symptoms may worsen or new ones (such as urine leakage) may appear. Awareness of the existence of multiple defects, and recurrences in unrepaired compartments, have led to wide use of more comprehensive operations. Synthetic meshes and biological grafts in pelvic reconstructive surgery have increased considerably in recent years, with success rates in the 70-100% range. Nonetheless, not even these procedures are free of adverse effects; accordingly, the issue of the best solution has remained unsettled.

STRESS URINARY INCONTINENCE |
| Capsule |
Urinary incontinence is a common and potentially debilitating problem. Hundreds of surgical procedures have been described; additional procedures continue to evolve, thereby improving efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness, while reducing invasiveness and recurrences. The key to an optimal therapeutic outcome is accurate diagnosis and tailor-made, appropriate intervention that is acceptable to the patient. Are any of the newer procedures emerging as the best?

Debate: Should we perform any surgery other than TVT?
