Pelvic floor disorders present a challenge to colorectal surgeons. Patient symptomatology varies, multiple organ systems are likely involved, and workups often include radiographic studies that are challenging to interpret. Furthermore, approaches to patient care vary by institution depending on the presence of subspecialists, equipment, and the presence of a multidisciplinary clinic/conference. This webinar will attempt to highlight the challenges and provide actionable advice to surgeons caring for patients with pelvic floor disorders through case-based discussions. At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to: 1) Understand the role of surgical intervention for obstructive defecation, prolapse, and fecal incontinence. 2) Recognize the important role gynecologic surgeons play in caring for pelvic floor patients and when a multidisciplinary approach is best. 3) Understand the benefits and appropriate timing of pelvic floor physical therapy for the management of pelvic floor disorders.
