Last chance to complete the hysteropexy survey
Is hysterectomy still part of the treatment of uterine prolapse? Are pelvic surgeons leaving the uterus in place during prolapse repair? I am a fellow interested in knowing what pelvic surgeons think about hysteropexy (uterine preservation surgery) and am requesting the help of IUGA members to complete the survey I have developed to identify answers to these questions.  If you choose to participate in the survey, your answers will remain confidential.  Please click the link below to begin.

The survey will close on Monday, August 25th. Thank you for participating!
