SIG Project

Promotion of a new discipline with a lot of clinical perspectives

Project description

Neuropelveology is born from the anatomical advantage of laparoscopy, which now allows to surgically expose the main somatic or autonomic pelvic nerves. Laparoscopic procedures include: nerve sparing, neurolysis for endometriosis, preoperative neurostimulation, implantation of neural electrode. In 2014, the ISON (International Society of Neuropelveology) was created during the ESGE Annual Congress in Brussels. Since 2014, a post- or pre-congress course has been organised during the annual congress. An international workshop with cadaveric dissection is held every two years. A specific certification to be a neuropelveologist has been implemented with 3 levels. The objectives are promoting and teaching neuropelveology to ESGE members to prepare for the neuropelveology certification in line with GESEA.
