Purpose:

 The IUGA Surgical Committee is responsible for curating and promoting resources to support surgical education.

In 2023, the founders of the International Academy of Pelvic Surgery (IAPS), Dr. Mark Walters, Dr. Mickey Karram, and Cheryl Perrero generously donated the IAPS platform and all of its contents to IUGA. With over 500 surgical videos spanning across 37 modules, the inclusion of IAPS within the IUGA academy will be a significant enhancement to our members' benefits. Additionally to this initiative, the Surgical Committee will curate monthly videos and articles to enrich our members' educational experience.
