title: Cystoscopy and other urogynecologic procedures.
abstract: Female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS) is a rapidly expanding surgical specialty that focuses on the evaluation and treatment of pelvic floor disorders in women. Evaluation and treatment of several pelvic floor disorders can be accomplished with office-based procedures, yielding significant advantages to the patient, physician, and health system. This article describes the common and more useful office-based procedures for the FPMRS physician, covering 4 major categories: cystourethroscopy, procedures for stress urinary incontinence, procedures for urge urinary incontinence, and management of surgical complications.
