ISON

We are thrilled to announce a collaboration between the International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy (ISGE) and the International Society for Neuropelveology (ISON). This partnership fills us with pride and joy. Our aim is to support, enhance, and disseminate surgical procedures in endoscopic surgery, as well as in diagnostics.

Even though neuropelveology in diagnostics may seem unrelated to gynecology, it transitions from laparoscopic to exploring/decompressing pelvic nerves, and even to implanting stimulation electrodes. As one delves into pelvic surgery, they inevitably encounter diagnostic boundaries. Neuropelveology emerges as a specialized discipline not concerned with the ailments of pelvic regions and organs, but with their innervation. Thus, neuropelveology becomes indispensable for any pelvic specialist, whether they be gynecologists, urologists, coloproctologists, or pain therapists.

We are elated to embark on this fruitful collaboration with ISGE. More than colleagues, we see each other as friends sharing the same ultimate goal: enhancing patient care, even in the most remote corners where “modern medicine” may not yet have reached.

The webinar educational series starts again in June 2024. Participants will be taught the various aspects of neuropelveology in 3 webinars. The online exam will take place in the final part. After passing the test, you will receive the ISON Level 1 Certificate – Clinical Neuropelveology.

The VIP-Faculties meeting on Neuropelveology took place from 11 to 12 December 2015 in the Institute of Anatomy – University of Aarhus – DK.

The aim of this meeting was to provide a common platform for the future activities in the ISoN. In an informal atmosphere, all Faculties of the ISoN spent also two days of theory and cadaver dissections going through the essentials of neuropelveology.

All participants have completed successfully both the Level 1 and Level 2 requirements.

Hyperactivity of the bladder with urinary incontinence, especially the non-neurogenic form of the condition, but also fecal incontinence may affect millions of women over the world, without any co-morbidities and in particular without any neurologic disorders or prolapsed organs. First-line conservative treatments do not always lead to sufficient improvement of the complaints and are often associated with disabling adverse effects leading to treatment failure. Electrical stimulation of the pelvic nerves has emerged as an alternative and attractive treatment for refractory cases. A novel technique of implantation of an electrode to the pudendal nerve has been developed for treatment as well of fecal incontinence as of hyperactivity of the bladder with urinary incontinence. The laparoscopic approach is the only technique that enable placement of an electrode in direct contact to the endopelvic portion of the pudendal nerve within the protection of the pelvis.

The workshop is the required condition for participation to the multicentric prospective randomised ISON-Study “Pudendal neuromodulation vs sacral nerve neuromodulation for treatment for intractable non-neurogenic OAB in women”.
