PFD Week 2024 - AUGS Pelvic Floor Disorders (PFD) Week

Date: October 22-25, 2024
Venue: Washington, DC, USA | Virtual

Organized by：American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS)

PFD Week was created by AUGS to become the go-to meeting for health care professionals interested in or actively practicing urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery. The core of the meeting contains the traditional two and half days of scientific presentation with the addition of one day of surgical and clinical workshop sessions.

With this expanded focus, the meeting brings together physicians, physicians-in-training, researchers, physical therapists, advance nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurse practitioners to collaborate, network and learn from each other’s expertise. PFD Week creates the forum to learn from each other’s knowledge, experience and expertise, for the improvement of women’s urogynecologic care.

PFD Week is an inclusive meeting that offers access to internationally recognized leaders in the field and the opportunity to network with the most highly respected health professionals in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery.

Late-breaking science submissions are intended to allow for the timely presentation of high-impact trials to PFD Week 2024 attendees. It is expected that these abstract submissions are from studies for which no preliminary data were available at the time of the abstract submission deadline. Submissions that do not meet these criteria will be declined. Late-breaking submissions, upon acceptance, will be invited to be presented at the podium but will not be published in the program book or Urogynecology.

Priority will be given (in the following order) to:
• Results of phase III clinical trials
• Results of phase II clinical trials
• Extraordinary findings from a basic science investigation
• Interim analyses of phase III trials that describe important secondary endpoints
• Prospective multi-institution clinical trials

Late-breaking submissions, upon acceptance, will be invited to be presented at the podium but will not be published in the program book or Urogynecology.
