9-10 November 2026 – Pisa

Rationale & Vision

Pelvic Floor Diseases X Factor is an international meeting created for young specialists involved in pelvic floor care. Its vision is to promote a new generation of clinicians able to combine scientific rigour, multidisciplinary dialogue, and real-world experience in order to improve patient outcomes. The meeting encourages openness, critical thinking, and meaningful discussion around what works, what does not, and what can be improved in the future.
