Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery
The Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery Program at Louisiana State University
Health Sciences Center in New Orleans is an ACGME accredited multisite program currently
under the auspices of the Deparatment of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Our program offers
2-year Urology and 3-year Urogynecology FPMRS fellowship training. The program encompasses
multiple training sites in the New Orleans metropolitan area and in Lafayette including
University Medical Center of New Orleans, Touro Infirmary, East Jefferson General
Hospital, Women's and Children's Hospital (Lafayette), and University Hospital & Clinics
(Lafayette). This geographic variability allows the fellows to see a wide range of
disease processes with a significant degree of highly complex and advanced pelvic
floor disorders. The Section of FPMRS serves a very diverse population of both indigent
and private patients in both cities. The faculty of the FMPRS section consists of
both Urogynecologists and Female Urologists in equal numbers several of which are
nationally recognized in their respective fields. We enjoy a very collegial relationship
within the section that provides excellent exposure to all aspects of both Urologic
and Gynecologic reconstructive surgery including pelvic floor reconstruction, voiding
dysfunction, urodynamics, neurourology, neuromodulation, urinary diversions, defractory
dysfunction, and clinical or basic research. Fellows are trained in vaginal, abdominal
and minimally invasive surgical approaches. Additionally, fellows rotate with colorectal
surgery and pelvic floor physical therapy to round out their knowledge base. Senior
fellows have the opportunity to participate in an international rotation to train
in the care and treatment of complex obstetrical fistulas in Africa. The research
requirement is spread out over the 3 years for gynecology fellows and over 2 years
for the urology fellow. All Gynecology and Urology faculty are board certified or
board eligible in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery.
