Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery is a rapidly growing subspecialty focused on the clinical and surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders. The pelvic floor includes muscles, ligaments and connective tissue at the bottom of the pelvis that support the abdominal and pelvic organs including bowel, the bladder, uterus, vagina and rectum. Pelvic floor problems develop when there is damage or weakness to these muscles, ligaments or connective tissue. Approximately 25 percent of women in the U.S. have a pelvic floor disorder and 1 in 5 women in the U.S. will have surgery.
Urogynecology is a recognized subspecialty of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Board of Urology..
