Pelvic Neuroanatomy, Female Sexuality, Endometriosis and Innovation: Preserving Function Through Knowledge and AI

Chairs: Maurício S. Abrão, Paulo A. Ayroza Ribeiro
Faculty: Henrique M. Abrão, Maurício S. Abrão, Helizabet Salomão Ayroza, Gustavo Leme Fernandes, Manuel Lopez, Paulo A. Ayroza Ribeiro, Andrea Vidali

Description: This innovative postgraduate course will explore the intersection of pelvic neuroanatomy, female sexuality, endometriosis, and emerging technologies in gynecologic surgery. With a focus on anatomical preservation and patient quality of life, the faculty will present how knowledge of critical pelvic structures—combined with artificial intelligence (AI), advanced imaging, and predictive analytics—can help minimize functional damage during complex surgical procedures. The course emphasizes a translational and practical approach, aiming to equip attendees with current and future tools to support optimal surgical decision-making and outcomes.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to: 1) Provide an updated overview of pelvic neuroanatomy as it relates to female sexual function; 2) Recognize how various gynecologic diseases and surgeries impact female sexuality; and 3) Explore how AI, 3D modeling, and surgical mapping can aid in anatomical preservation.
