Introduction

Pelvic Floor Disorders are a common but often unrecognised surgical problem. Appropriate treatment of such functional problems can immensely improve the quality of life of afflicted patients so that they need not suffer in silence. With a growing interest in this area in the ASEAN region, many surgical units are in the process of setting up their own Pelvic Floor Service and developing related skills. The aim of this workshop is to introduce and teach the techniques of two common operations in dealing with pelvic floor disorders - namely: Laparoscopic Ventral Rectopexy (LVR) and Sacral Nerve Modulation (SNS). This workshop is strongly recommended for experienced colorectal surgeons and advanced surgical trainees with pelvic floor interest.
