- Faecal Incontinence Part 1 >
- Faecal Incontinence Part 2 >
- Obstructed Defecation >
Supported by Medtronic
Spread over four webinars, our series will traverse a wide variety of topics, from the fundamental aspects of physiology and diagnostics to the detailed exploration of conservative and surgical treatments.
The first webinar sets the stage with a focus on physiology and diagnostics. We will delve into the impact of diagnostics on decision-making and evaluate whether we're posing the right questions to patients about faecal incontinence and obstructed defecation.
Subsequent webinars will dissect the landscape of conservative and surgical treatments for faecal incontinence, including sphincter repair, sacral neuromodulation, and sphincter augmentation. As we transition towards constipation and obstructed defecation, we will assess the efficacy of conservative treatments and the role of surgical interventions.
As we journey through this series, each webinar will culminate with a live Q&A session. This will be your opportunity to interact directly with our esteemed faculty, seek their insights, and have all your questions answered on the subject matter. This engaging format will add a dynamic element to each session, creating a unique opportunity for delegates to learn directly from global leaders in the field.
Join us on this exciting journey as we navigate these complex conditions, exchange knowledge, and strive for better patient outcomes in Faecal Incontinence and obstructed defecation. We look forward to welcoming you to our webinar series and embracing this opportunity to learn and grow together.
