According to Dr. Patricia Gutiérrez Ontalvilla (plastic surgeon and president of the Nixarian Foundation): “these women usually take 8 years on average to receive the diagnosis, a time during which the disease continues to progress while they suffer pain that, in many cases, becomes disabling, which means a significant decrease in their quality of life”.
For this reason, the Nixarian Foundation is launching the
First Course on Autologous Regenerative Medicine Techniques in the Treatment of Lichen Sclerosus Vulvae (LSV)
which will allow physicians to develop both theoretical and practical skills in the treatment of Lichen Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus from a regenerative medicine approach.
This first course will take place on November 18, 2022 in the auditorium of the Hospital Vithas Valencia 9 de Octubre while the practical part will take place during that afternoon in the operating rooms of the hospital.
The course is a response from the NIXARIAN FOUNDATION in conjunction with SEGERF (Spanish Society of Aesthetic, Regenerative and Functional Gynecology) and SETGRA (Spanish Society of Fat Transplantation) to meet a growing demand from both physicians and patients with vulvar lichen sclerosus through regenerative medicine.
The course content will be divided into two independent modules. The theoretical module is aimed at medical professionals in the following specialties: gynecology, dermatology, urology, plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, family and community medicine and pediatrics. The capacity of this module is limited to 50 specialists.
The practical module is aimed at specialists in gynecology, dermatology, urology and plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. In this case, since it is given in an operating room, the capacity is limited to only 20 specialists.
The speakers for the course are Dr. Patricia Gutiérrez Ontalvilla, plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon and president of the Nixarian Foundation; Dr. Fernando Aznar Mañas, gynecologist, Instituto Cordobés de Ginecología; Dra. Maite Fernández Pérez, gynecologist Clinica Tufet; Dra. Eva Guisantes Pintos, plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon at the Hospital de Terrassa; Dra. Ana Hortelano Otero, plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon at the Hospital Intermutual de Levante, and Dr. Pablo Lázaro Ochaita, head dermatologist at the Hospital Beata Maria Ana.
At the end of the course, a diploma endorsed by the Nixarian Foundation – SEGERF – SETGRA will be awarded.
The course also has the support of the most important companies in the regenerative medicine sector, among which we can highlight: Blisscare (Cellular Matrix), Karam Medical (Puregraft) and AESLOG (Lipocube).
