The Pelvis in Pain<br />
Endometriosis and Beyond<br />
<strong>Program</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> - Friday 8 March<br />
A overview of the current pharmacological drugs in<br />
development will be provided in this lecture. There is an<br />
exciting variety of new agents in the pipeline, including<br />
new GnRH-antagonists, immune-modulators, angiogenesis<br />
inhibitors, selective progesterone receptor modulators, antioxidants<br />
and new classes of pain-killers.<br />
The challenge for many of these drugs will be to show that<br />
the promising results in animal models translate to the clinic.<br />
Many have already failed this test in the past and many<br />
more will follow, but even one new effective drug would be a<br />
welcome addition to our arsenal.<br />

Robotics and endometriosis<br />
Abrão M<br />
Complete excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis poses<br />
a surgical challenge. Robotics provides features such 3D<br />
imaging and articulation of instruments that may overcome<br />
many of the limitations of conventional laparoscopy.<br />
The role of robotics in benign gynecology particularly in<br />
endometriosis as evidenced in the current literature will be<br />
discussed. Surgical videos will be presented.<br />
