FIGO Committee on Climate Change and Toxic Environmental Exposures

Current evidences are showing the impact of environment, both toxic chemical exposures or the endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and climate change on reproductive health (pregnancy as preterm birth, infertility, endometriosis, cancers and more). As such, as clinicians and healthcare workers, we need to increase the awareness and educate both our patients and the doctors in terms of environmental impacts on health. Definitely, as we try to tackle safety issues, toxins seen in our environment should be identified and measured. Hazardous levels could be set and it is the first FIGO endeavour to monitor toxicity standards in prenatal vitamins. Hopefully, this toxicity testing will open the gates to the other more daily commodities we use to be given the FIGO seal of safety. Join us to make this breakfast session more interactive and relevant

In Brazil, caesarean rates (CS) reached 57% in 2020 and analgesia rates during labour are low, especially in the public sector, where they are less than 20%. In France, epidural analgesia is used by 80% of women and CS rates are stable around 20%. Our aim is to increase the provision of analgesia during labour and to observe the impact of this measure on CS rates and women’s satisfaction in 2 public hospitals in Brazil supervised by 2 French centers. The fear of labour pain has been associated with a greater demand for CS. We expect that increasing the offer of labour analgesia may contribute to decrease of CS rates.

The understanding of pelvic pain and the various potential generators of pain have significantly expanded in the last several years. A firm knowledge of the approach to the comprehensive evaluation of patients presenting with pain and how to then direct treatment based to the identified primary pain generator is paramount. This hands-on workshop will teach the attendee how to evaluate and treat a patient with chronic pelvic pain. Using simulation materials and models, participants learn how to perform a physical exam for female pelvic pain, trigger point injections for the pelvic floor and abdominal wall, transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, and pudendal nerve block. Attendees rotate through stations with faculty to provide feedback, tips and tricks, and practical insight with a focus on physical examination skills and adjuncts to treatment of pelvic pain.

External cephalic version has become a standard obstetric procedure in many countries, aimed of transforming a non-cephalic presentation into a cephalic presentation, close to or at term. There is overwhelming evidence regarding its success rate and safety, but nonetheless the procedure is still poorly implemented in many hospitals. This course is dedicated to all obstetricians/gynaecologists who wish to gain “hands-on” experience with external cephalic version, before implementing this technique in their hospitals, or before joining teams that already perform it. After an initial session on selecting and informing candidates, how to perform external cephalic version, expected success rates and complications, and tips and tricks, participants will be divided into 4 groups where they will practice external cephalic version on a simulator and patient counselling in a role-playing environment.

Hysteroscopy has gained a very important role in modern gynecology. Multiple advances both in technology and techniques have occurred. The aim of this session is to provide an update on the current role of hysteroscopy in modern gynecology with a fresh look into the future. This Hands-On Simulation Lab will cover basic and advanced hysteroscopy skills including office-based hysteroscopy, flexible hysteroscopy, operative hysteroscopy completed via resectoscopy or hysteroscopic morcellation, endometrial ablation, and transcervical fibroid radiofrequency ablation. Working stations will be set up and attendees will rotate through the stations with supervision of faculty to provide feedback, insight, and the latest evidence-based medicine. Focus will be placed on practical skills that can be incorporated into patient care in the office and operating room.
