Abstract:
The pelvic floor disorder disease (PFDD) typically originates from supportive tissue defects or injuries in the pelvic floor with a wide spectrum of symptoms such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual dysfunction, fecal incontinence and chronic pelvic pain. But its etiology is complex, involving multiple systems and organs. So the best management of PFDD requires the implementation of multidisciplinary team (MDT). Pelvic floor centers have been developed abroad to provide pelvic floor services. In the setting of PFDD, the concept of MDT starts lately and develops slowly in China. The MDT approach was demonstrated to improve general rehabilitation, psychological state and quality of life. However, there is no unified standardization for MDT diagnosis and treatment of PFDD at home and abroad. Meanwhile, the personnel composition, responsibilities, training, and operation mode of the MDT need to be further developed. Perfecting the management mode of MDT team members, establishing standardized training programs and assessment criteria play crucial role in the future development of MDT in PFDD.
