52nd Annual Meeting of the Southwestern Gynecologic Assembly (JS1712B)

Dallas, TX US
December 1, 2017 to December 2, 2017

The lecture content will help attendees understand and appropriately execute current screening recommendations for various conditions and diseases commonly encountered in practice. Not only will primary care topics be covered, such as domestic violence and cardiovascular disease in women, but we also hope to give guidance in demystifying current cancer screening guidelines including cervical, anal and colon.

We will discuss long-term considerations in the management of transgender patients with both obstetric and gynecologic applications. Other obstetric content will include emergent infectious diseases in pregnancy and new innovations in radiographic evaluation for abnormal placentation. Also pertinent to the obstetric practice will be the ethics lecture which will discuss important ethical and social considerations surrounding non-invasive prenatal screening as well as its potential use in fetal whole genome sequencing.

Surgical content will include topics such as vaginal laser rejuvenation, fertility preservation and ovarian tissue transplantation, and non-hysterectomy management of fibroids. We will discuss how to appropriately evaluate patients for these treatments as well as technical considerations when performing these procedures.

Overall, the conference lectures are aimed to provide attendees with a large breadth of information that is exciting, practical and relevant in today’s practice.

Target Audience

Physicians and healthcare providers specializing in women’s health care.
