Myofascial supports, defects and injuries


This laparoscopy demonstrates avulsion of the left uterosacral ligament (uterosacral defect, grade 3, "Uterosacral injuries in chronic pelvic pain"

On this course the emphasis is on your learning and we try and offer new approaches to common clinical problems.  Feedback over 10 courses show that participants may enjoy the course because:

- it is relevant to day-to-day clinical practice

- it is delivered by experienced clinicians from different units and different backgrounds

- it is arranged in many different learning formats including small groups, demonstrations, seminars

- it avoids didactic lectures

- it takes place in "state-of-the-art" facilities in the new educational centre at the University of Bristol

- there is every opportunity for discussion within and around the sessions including the course dinner

- there is new material to consider - specifically the "lost" anatomy of the autonomic nerves

- the educational activity is generously supported by Gynecare (UK) Ltd.

 

 Pelvic nerves and denervation

 

The inferior hypogastric plexus in a nulliparous cadaver.  No-one attending the first 10 courses had seen this anatomy. Why ???

Reinnervation follows denervation in many pelvic organs including the uterine isthmus (x 100).  Perivascular regrowth of nerves occurs in many premenstrual symptoms.
