Urogynecology, Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Calgary
The Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery Group at the University of Calgary is a dedicated group of Urogynecologists who have expertise in the conservative and surgical management of Pelvic Floor Disorders.
The Section of Urogynecology was started in 1999 by Dr. Magali Robert & Dr. Tom Mainprize. Over the last 15+ years, it has grown to encompass a multi-disciplinary Pelvic Floor Clinic at the Foothills Hospital and a vigorous research group.
WHAT WE DO
CLINICAL CARE
The four Urogynecologists comprising the Section of FPMRS provide clinical care through the Pelvic Floor Clinic at the Women’s Health Centre / North Tower, Foothills Hospital, Calgary, Alberta.
A referral is required, and wait-times are generally under 3 months. Referrals may be directed to a specific MD, or to the “first available”. For those patients who would like to see a Nurse Continence Advisor or go direct to a pessary fitting, this should be indicated in the referral letter to aid in our team in the triage process.
While waiting for a referral, we suggest viewing the clinic website and familiarizing yourself with the on-line videos regarding pelvic floor disorders.
EDUCATION
The FPMRS Fellowship at the University of Calgary is the largest in Canada, with a high operative and clinical volume. In addition to a solid foundation in vaginal & laparoscopic pelvic floor surgery, our trainees have the opportunity to participate in first class research and contribute to medical education of junior learners.
