“Over 80% of the patients are greater than 50% improved, and 50% [had] over [a] 75% reduction in UUI episodes,” says Cindy L. Amundsen, MD.

“These findings support the safety of vaginal estrogen for treatment of local menopause symptoms, even in high-risk women,” says Gabriella M. Rustia, MD.

The therapeutic response rate was 79% at 24 months, which is comparable to the rates seen at 6 months (78%) and 12 months (82%).

PFD Week stands as the pinnacle gathering for healthcare professionals dedicated to Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery.

AUGS presents a collection of recent articles from the Urogynecology journal that delve into pelvic organ prolapse.

Developed by the AUGS Scientific Committee and Research Agenda Writing Group

Postoperative urinary retention is a common outcome after surgical procedures for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence.

The aim of this document is to present a framework by which AUGS and its members can address the development of new technology and techniques, particularly in the surgical arena.

The position statement is meant to iterate AUGS' support for gender inclusion of both patients and health care providers.

The purpose of this clinical consensus statement is to identify areas of expert consensus and nonconsensus regarding pessary fitting, follow-up, and management of pessary complications to improve the safety and quality of care where evidence is currently limited.

The goals of the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) program are to support novel clinical, translational, and bench research pilot projects and enable early career investigators to obtain future independent funding for research.

There are several new CPT codes for 2024, including Category III codes for tibial nerve stimulation and other changes to codes in the treatment of urinary incontinence.

AUGS is currently seeking volunteers to serve on writing groups for several topics.

Using a case-based, interactive approach, this course is designed to offer practical clinical and surgical pearls for the management of women with complex pelvic floor disorders and complications.

To acknowledge the need for increased research funding directed towards women’s health, beyond maternity and reproductive care, AUGS has established the National Urogynecology Research Agenda.

Dr. Kate Meriwether, AUGS Publications Committee member, interviews Dr Colleen McDermott, the first author of the Clinical Consensus Statement “Postoperative Urinary Retention,” to provide an overview and highlight the findings of the document.

AUGS is seeking both interested mentors and mentees who are looking for a mutually rewarding mentorship experience.
