About the Course

From Foundations to Advanced Pelvic Floor Reconstruction

This program delivers competency-based training across the breadth of urogynecology — pelvic organ prolapse, midurethral slings, mesh complications and complex fistula repair. Expert-led lectures are paired with structured progression through vaginal and abdominal surgical stations on cadaveric and simulation models.

Hosted at King Fahad Medical City in Riyadh, the course brings together national and international urogynecology faculty for a small-group, station-based experience — 3–4 participants per station — designed to maximise hands-on practice time and one-to-one mentorship.

"Move from foundational technique to advanced reconstruction — faculty demonstration first, then your own hands on the specimen, station by station."
