Abstract:
Pelvic floor multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion is emerging as a standard part of care for patients with pelvic floor disorders. Although its use is encouraged by guidelines, there is still a lack of solid evidence supporting its benefits. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of pelvic floor MDT discussions on the diagnostic approach and treatment of a patient population at Antwerp University Hospital. After reviewing 26 patient cases, the study demonstrated a change in technical investigations in 69% of cases and a change in diagnostics in 85% of cases. These findings indicate that pelvic floor MDT discussions have a significant impact on both the diagnostic and treatment approaches for pelvic floor disorders.
