April 15-20, 2024: 2nd Annual Pelvic Anatomy Expo

Course Chair: N. Lemos, M.D.

The Pelvic Anatomy Expo 2024 is a collaborative event to reflect the evolving need for cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer. The expo will include five separate didactic and hands-on cadaver courses spanning six days.

Throughout the week, we have our traditional 7th Hands-On Advanced Neuroanatomy of the Pelvis: Hands-on Cadaver Course, offered in English, Portuguese and Spanish. This program is designed for advanced gynecologic, urologic and colorectal surgeons and focuses on pelvic neuroanatomy and nerve-sparing techniques. The English course is scheduled to provide a seamless transition to merge with the new Surgical and Clinical Implications of Pelvic, Hip, Spine, and Core Neuroanatomy Course. This course will be a hands-on discussion forum for all specialties dealing with spinal, pelvic and/or deep gluteal portions of the lumbosacral plexus to share their vision of this complex anatomy.

The Pelvic Anatomy Expo 2024 also welcomes two additional advanced procedural courses: Advanced Anatomy and Surgical Techniques for the Management of Deeply Infiltrating Endometriosis (presented this year in English and Spanish); and Fundamentals of Advanced Laparoscopic Gynecology Surgery (presented in Spanish). Both courses are designed to take gynecologic surgeons to the next level in treating these complex conditions.

The advancement of retroperitoneal laparoscopic techniques has opened the doors to a new world of anatomical knowledge, producing better surgical outcomes with lower complication rates. Moreover, a better understanding of intrapelvic neuroanatomy has pushed the boundaries of traditional medical specialties and fostered immense collaboration opportunities between gynecologists, colorectal surgeons and urologists, and between these pelvic surgeons with hip, spine and peripheral nerve surgeons.
